Fire crews responded to the Greenberg Smoked Turkeys Inc. processing plant in Tyler, TX on Friday night after an explosion and fire occurred at the facility, local news organizations reported.
Dispatched to the site at about 8:30 p.m., firefighters arrived to find smoke coming from an area that housed freezers and observed debris outside the building, officials told the Tyler Morning Telegraph.
“As we shared previously, there has been a catastrophic fire at our shipping facility. Both our inventory and our ability to ship this season have been destroyed.
