Around 3:45 yesterday afternoon, we received a report that there was a fire at the Plains Hemp Plant in Gilbert Plains.
Shortly after, firefighters were on scene. It's being reported that sparks from a piece of heavy machinery caused the fire.
The bale shed and the bales in it caught fire, but things were under control before the fire got to the plant.
No estimates of damage are available yet, and no one was injured in the fire.
