Firefighters from multiple departments in Door County responded to a fire on the Frontenac Bulk Carrier at Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding around noon Tuesday. 

 

The fire reportedly occurred while cleaning the dust container onboard the ship.  Not much smoke was visible from outside of the the scene, but firefighters had to weave through the ship to get water to the source of the fire, which was reportedly contained in about an hour. 

 

According to the Canadian Steamship Lines website, the MV Frontenac was built in 1968 and converted into a self-unloader in 1973.
