Tulsa firefighters and hazmat teams responded to a fire at the Port of Catoosa Saturday evening.

They were prepared for an explosive situation and the possibility of hazardous chemicals adding fuel to the fire.

Firefighters quickly put out the flames at the GEA Rainey company but not before an expensive piece of equipment was seriously damaged.

Investigators say no one was on-site and it may have been started by rags soaked in a combustible fluid.

Damage for that one machine alone is estimated at a half-million dollars.
