Stevens Point firefighters on Wednesday responded with multiple vehicles to fire alarm at the downtown location of Associated Bank.

The call came at about 12:30 p.m.

According to Capt. Dennis Zvara, it was a “small fire” started by a contractor in the building.

“They were doing some welding, which set off the fire system,” Zvara said.

Sevens Point police also responded to close a portion of Main St. for less than a hour while the scene was cleared.

There were no injuries, Zvara said.
