Fire causes damage at milling plant

fire2A fire Saturday evening at the Farmer Direct Foods milling plant in New Cambria causes an estimated $10,000 to $15,000 in damage.

Saline County Sheriff Lt. Stan Fruits said the fire was reported just before 7:30p.m.

It is believed the fire began when grain flow stopped, and two stones used to grind the grain made a spark that started the fire in the dust filter system.

No one was hurt, the damage estimated is for equipment and product loss.
