Fire 1114071 1280

Ashleigh Mattern reported for CBC on a dust explosion and subsequent fire that claimed an almost 60-year-old grain elevator in Lawson, Saskatchewan, operated by Central Butte Feeds. The explosion injured one worker, who was taken to the local hospital for burn treatments. The worker is expected to make a full recovery. Central Butte Feeds had bought the elevator four years ago and had made upgrades to keep the old mill operational and stop the elevator from becoming decrepit.
