Incident Description:
On May 11, 2021, the Atchison Globe Now reported a grain bin fire at a feed and grain business in Atchison, Kansas.
Firefighters were called to the scene at around 2:13 p.m. They quickly extinguished the fire, which apparently occurred when a contractor accidentally ignited some spray-on insulation with a cutting torch while removing an old storage tank. They remained on site to cool the tank and other nearby tanks to prevent re-ignition.
No injuries were reported.
