JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - Authorities say the Trident Seafoods processing plant in the Alaska Peninsula village of Chignik Bay has been destroyed by fire.
Alaska State Troopers say residents battled the blaze for two hours in the small community 450 miles southwest of Anchorage. Troopers say more than 250 people worked at the plant. Four went to the local clinic after having trouble breathing. Two others were taken to Anchorage for treatment of possible smoke inhalation. An area a half mile around the plant was evacuated. A state deputy fire marshal and a trooper are investigating the cause of the fire. Trident Seafoods is based in Seattle. --- Information from: KINY-AM, http://www.kinyradio.com (Copyright 2008 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) AP-NY-07-22-08 1049EDT |
