"Blaze at Hastings Creamery Prompts Safety Measures for Residents"

A fire broke out at the Hastings Creamery building in Minnesota, prompting residents to initially stay indoors before being cleared to leave their homes. The fire department reported that some anhydrous ammonia leaked but has since dissipated. Residents are advised to keep their HVAC systems off due to residual smoke in the area. A stretch of northbound Highway 61 remains closed. The creamery had ceased operations last month after losing access to city sewer service.
