Junction City firefighters responded to Screen Machine Sports in Junction City for a fire at 12:06 p.m. on Tuesday.
A check with business owner Mary Hogan confirmed this involved a belt driven dryer. Some insulation caught on fire. There was no smoke damage to the business at 115 East 7th Street, and no injuries.
Hogan estimated the cost of replacing the dryer at approximately $7,500. “All of our retail is fine and good for sales for Christmas.” She noted there were no setbacks for the retail area, but they will be one or two days behind on their printing. “But glad to say we’ll be getting a new dryer here, up and running by Friday.”
