A large industrial facility in south Louisville caught fire on Wednesday.
The fire was reported just before 3 p.m. Wednesday in the 8700 block of Minor Lane. That’s near Okolona between Outer Loop and I-265.
The building is Grainger Industrial Supply. Grainger distributes maintenance, repair and operating supplies.
Okolona Fire Chief Mark Little said a solar panel on the roof caught fire.
Video shows one of 12 chunks of the solar panels scorched on top of the building.
The building is nearly 1.5 million square feet.
Little said four firefighters went down due to heat exhaustion.
The fire took around two hours to get under control.
There were no injuries reported.
