A Tuesday morning accident forced the evacuation of people living near ProVision Partners in Clark County at about 7:36 a-m.
A 9-1-1 caller reported hearing a loud noise, then seeing smoke coming from the top of an elevator. Bulk, dry fertilizer was being offloaded from a railroad car into a tractor-trailer truck at the time.
Central Fire and E-M-S responded along with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
The hazardous material was cleaned up, the elevator restarted and nearby residents were allowed to return home about three hours later.
