Firefighters stopped a major fire from spreading at an industrial facility in Varputėnai, in Lithuania's Šiauliai district, where equipment and glass fiber caught fire.

The fire protection and rescue department said crews responded with seven tanker trucks, a water transport vehicle and a command vehicle. Because the site had no nearby water source, firefighters transported water from an artificial reservoir about one kilometer away.

Workers had left the production buildings, and no injuries were reported. Authorities later said the fire had been localized, while extinguishing work continued.

The fire is currently being extinguished, and water is being transported from an artificial reservoir located one kilometer from the fire site.
