Officials said a firefighter was released from a hospital after being treated for minor injuries from a blaze at the Pilgrim’s Pride protein conversion plant in Mount Pleasant.
Firefighter/engineer Craig Eudy said the firefighter was taken to a hospital.
Pilgrim’s Pride spokesman Ray Atkinson said the fire started after 9 p.m. Monday in the protein conversion plant, not in the main chicken processing plant. No employees were reported hurt.
Eudy said “every available firefighter” was called to fight the fire.
