The exterior processing stacks caught fire at the Bunge Plant in Red Oak, IA, Wednesday evening, reports KMA Land.
Fire crews were dispatched to Bunge at 5:39 p.m. and battled the blaze for approximately two hours.
Fire Chief John Bruce says the cause of the fire was a malfunction in a computerized processing system that led to the over heating of processed grain product.
The fire was contained to the outside stacks, but heavy damage was reported.
