 Firefighters
put out elevator blaze
Forum staff reports
Published March 13, 2005
Firefighters doused smoldering corn that caught fire Saturday in a dryer inside
the Georgetown (Minn.) Farmers Elevator north of Moorhead.
A passing motorist on Highway 75 noticed smoke coming from the elevator, said
Greg Doeden, assistant chief of the Moorhead Fire Department, which assisted the
Dilworth Fire Department.
Damage appeared to be limited to the dryer and corn in the dryer, which held
1,000 bushels, he said.
Firefighters
emptied the dryer, then doused the smoldering corn, which apparently had been
burning for several hours.
