Interim Fire Chief Shawn Sollberger says two silos are leaning, appearing close to collapse. There’s also a small fire in a third silo, causing concern about another explosion. Two employees suffered smoke inhalation and perhaps other injuries. Their conditions are not known. PEORIA (WEEK) - Peoria firefighters were called Wednesday evening to what the fire chief said was a ‘major grain explosion’ at the corn processing plant once owned by ADM.
