A warehouse on the Louisville, Kentucky campus of General Electric has been engulfed in massive flames, with smoke casting shadows on the downtown area of the city, according to reports.

A GE spokeswoman confirmed the fire and said the warehouse contained some offices. The building has been evacuated and so far no injuries have been reported.

The fire has reached six-alarm status and some 200 firefighters are on the scene battling the blaze. Reports says that the fire has been contained to Building 6, but that it has been consumed by flames and appears to be a total loss.

We will update this story when more information is available.
