No injuries were reported but fire extensively damaged portions of the Xcel Energy facility in Phillips early Friday.

Reports indicate a passerby saw the fire just before five this morning. The origin of the blaze is unknown but is said to not be suspicious. Seven Xcel Energy vehicles were inside the portion of the building that burned and are lost.

An Xcel spokesperson Chris Ouellette  says the 17 employees at the Phillips location went home Friday, but will return to work on Monday in the portion of the facility that was not seriously damaged.
