Gravel Dryer Fire Destroys Northern Gravel Plant
A fire destroyed one sand dryer at the Northern Gravel Co plant on Muscatine Island south of the city. Foreman Larry Noble said flames spread quickly through the hoist room, with four workers nearby unable to curb the blaze. Rural Muscatine fire crews kept the fire from spreading to other structures, but the drying of jigpe sands will halt until new equipment is installed. The fire appears to have damaged the electrical system after gas was shut off and some outside machinery was moved for protection.
