Multiple departments battled a massive fire in Dillsboro, Indiana, Thursday evening. According to officials, the fire started around 4:35 p.m. on U.S. 50 at Laughery Valley AG, a farming co-op. Area residents said the plant usually closes around 4:30 every day. More than 10 fire departments have responded to the scene. Dillsboro EMS tells WLWT plant workers were able to make it out of the building in time. Officials said there are no injuries reported at this time. Officials said crews battled the flames for close to six hours. Now, teams are on scene going through the debris of what's left. Emergency crews closed westbound lanes on US-50 for public safety while they worked to put out the flames. "When I arrived, it had a heavy smoke coming out of the building, flames coming out of the middle of it as well. At that point, it was basically just trying to get resources here to help contain this fire," Dillsboro fire Chief Jason Sullivan said.
