MOORHEAD (KFGO) – The cause of a major fire that heavily damaged a plastic fabrication company in south Moorhead is under investigation by the city fire marshal and a deputy state fire marshal.
The blaze at Pactiv Evergreen in the city’s industrial park south of I-94 broke out shortly after 7:30 p.m. Monday.
Fire Capt. Derek Berg says about half of the large building sustained significant smoke and fire damage. Berg says the fire department kept a watch on the scene overnight and put out some hot spots. It was the third major fire at the plant in recent years.
Pactiv Evergreen, based in Lake Forest, Illinois, describes itself as a leading manufacturer of fresh food and beverage packaging.
