Fire Starts at Confinement Farm

Several homes near a hog confinement farm in Hamilton County were evacuated when a fire started at the farm on Wednesday. KCCI reports that the fire started around 4 p.m. Sheriff's deputies said a crew was fumigating the confinement building and sparked the fire. Deputies evacuated two or three homes within a mile of the building because of the toxic chemicals being used during the fumigation. The homeowners were later allowed to return to their homes. The building was empty at the time, so no animals were injured. The crew working in the building were also unharmed.
