At 02:17 this morning, we were dispatched to Caledonia Farmers Elevator- Charlotte location, for a report of fire in the basement of a grain processing area. The first units arrived at 02:22 and found the fire was contained to a large electric motor and grain dust in the basment of the original 1960's plant. A hose line was stretched and quickly knocked the fire down, we ventilated the area and checked for any extension of fire into other areas. No injuries were reported, and we commended facility employees for quick actions to prevent this incident from being much worse.
