and last updated

Multiple fire departments spent hours fighting a fire at a Georgia Pacific plant Friday morning. 

Crews were called to 1919 South Broadway Street in Green Bay just after 2 a.m. Friday. 

A fork lift inside the plant started on fire, which spread to paper in the east part of the building. 

A person was reported missing 10 minutes into the call, but was found shortly after. 

The size of the plant created challenges, including lots of smoke. Crews also had to pull paper apart, which caused the fire to rekindle at times. 

Crews called it a very "labor intensive" fire. 

No injuries were reported. 

We don't know how much damage estimates are.

Ashwaubenon, Bellevue, De Pere, Green Bay and Howard fire departments responded to the fire. 

NBC26 has a crew on scene and will have more information on NBC26 Today, starting at 5 a.m.
