BECKER  — Xcel Energy said a fire is now out in the coal storage barn at its Sherco power plant near Becker.

Xcel spokesman Tom Hoen said the Becker Fire Department was called Friday when residual coal and a rubber door seal were spotted smoldering. He said other fire departments helped out over the weekend as hotspots developed.

But he said the fire was declared out Monday morning. All firefighters left except for a Becker pumper truck that stayed as a precaution.

Hoen said there were no injuries and no significant equipment damage, but costs have not been tallied. He said Sherco’s three generating units continued to operate normally.

A catastrophic failure in Sherco’s Unit 3 turbine in 2011 caused more than $200 million in damage and took 22 months to fix.
