Firefighters in Saginaw County worked all night after a fire broke out in a grain silo at an elevator in Hemlock.
On Sunday at 10:10 p.m., the Richland Township Fire Department was dispatched to a fire at The Andersons Inc., an agricultural storage and supply company located at 485 S. Hemlock Rd. Additional 911 calls were advising that flames from the pump house were visible.
Richland Fire Command requested support and continued emergency operations to mitigate the emergency. Authorities said the on-scene report was showing heavy fire.
“Twenty-nine different departments on scene,” said Richland Township Fire Chief Jeremy Scott.
More than a hundred firefighters worked through the night, doing their best to knock down flames coming from the grain silo. Scott said some residents were evacuated from their homes for a couple of hours out of an abundance of caution.
