Blue Earth Fire Follow Up

Fire has gutted a cereal plant in Blue Earth employing some 200 people. Nobody was hurt in the blaze at the Kerry Group warehouse. Fire officials weren't sure about the cause of the fire but believed it started near the center of the warehouse. City Councilman Glen Gaylord says it's going to hurt the city because a lot of people work at the plant. Kerry Group makes dry cereal and other consumable goods. Firefighters were on the scene for about eight hours and at one point residents of Blue Earth were being asked to conserve water.
