Sioux Center Grain Fire

(Sioux Center) — Fire broke out Monday evening at a grain warehouse storage facility located at the Farmer’s Co-op Society of Sioux Center.  Three fire departments, Sioux Center, Orange City and Hull responded to the blaze.  Dump trucks and payloader tractors were also called to help with the removal of the burning grain.  One official estimated it may be seven days before the grain inside could be completely emptied.  The official did not know how much grain the warehouse facility held, but indicated the grain storage warehouse is larger than a football field.  It is expected fire officials will be on the scene throughout the evening.
