VIDEO/PHOTOS: Fire crews have been on scene of the fire at the Lineage facility for over 24 hours.
The 525,000 square-foot freezer facility, located on Bowles Road just off Highway 397, housed produce items including peas and carrots, before catching fire at around 5:15 Sunday morning.
According to Jenna Kochenauer, a Public Information Officer with Benton County Fire District 1, in the early hours of the fire, crews responded to the scene and found a small amount of smoke coming from inside one of the building's freezer bays.
Ten employees who were inside were all able to evacuate safely.
Sprinklers from the building's fire suppression system were activated, but due to the cold temperatures, made it challenging for firefighters to locate the fire when the water turned into a mist, mimicking the appearance of smoke.
