A gun manufacturing company in North Haven is closed for the day after fire broke out on Thursday morning and it is expected to reopen Friday.
Firefighters responded to O.F. Mossberg & Sons at 7 Grasso Ave. at 9:15 a.m. and found everyone outside and fire coming from the roof.
Officials said the company said all employees evacuated and one was treated for a minor injury.
The fire department activated the New Haven Special Hazards Team to handle a potential hazardous materials incident because manufacturing chemicals were close to the fire.
Crews from the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection were called in to check run-off and to test the atmosphere.
The website for O.F. Mossberg & Sons says the company, founded in 1919, is the oldest family-owned firearms manufacturer in America.
