(Reuters) -Shell PLC on Friday said a fire occurred on June 4 at its ethylene cracker plant in Potter Township, Pennsylvania, and the furnace unit involved remained offline pending an investigation.

The fire, which occurred at furnace unit number five in the Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex at approximately 2:20 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, was quickly extinguished by personnel at the site, the company told Reuters.

Multiple other furnaces are currently operating on site, it said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection said Shell had notified it of the fire and reported evacuating 15 employees. Shell reported one minor heat-related injury due to the incident, the department said.
