Production in the industrial park where GE makes washing machines, dryers, dish washers, refrigerators and water heaters has ceased while firefighters battle the blaze, and afternoon and evening shifts also have been canceled, GE spokeswoman Kim Freeman said.

Appliance Park is the 1,000-acre headquarters of GE Consumer & Industrial, GE's appliance division that is expected to become a subsidiary of Swedish appliance manufacturer Electrolux later this year. About 6,000 GE employees work in the industrial park, which has at least 15 buildings.
