Firefighters were called to the scene of a silo fire in West Milwaukee, WI, on August 3, reports Fox 6 Now.
The call came in around 8 a.m. at the former Froedtert Malt. There was fire was in the grain elevator that stores remnants of the grain cleaning procedure.
Firefighters used thermal imaging cameras to find the hot spots, then ventilated the silo and used a water mist to cool the material — and lastly, used foam to finish the job.
The grain product will have to be emptied out of the silo and disposed.
One firefighter was treated for heat and dehydration and taken to the hospital as a precaution.
