A forklift has caused USD200,000 in fire damage at a Mason City, Iowa, pipe supply company.

TheIowaChannel.com reported that a spark jumped from the forklift's metal flame and set the Midwest Supply Company alight on the morning of September 27.

The fire soon engulfed the building, and fire fighters were unable to control the blaze because the closest water hydrant was about one mile away from the factory.
