Although none of the 20 employees working the night shift were injured in a fire that broke out at Crystal Lake, Illinois steel fabricator TC Industries Sunday night, damages are estimated at $500,000 according to fire department officials.

The cause of the blaze was reportedly linked to one of the company's processing systems, which caught fire with an oil tank.  Firefighters extinguished the fire in less than an hour.
