The Tulsa Fire Department was called to a 1:30 a.m. report of a fire at the Agri-Nutrients Inc. fertilizer facility Aug. 24. The fire was under control by 4:30 a.m., but firefighters remained onsite to contain hot spots. The hazmat team assessed which chemicals were at the facility and worked to make sure they did not get into the waterway.
No injuries were reported and no employees were around when the fire started. However, the fire did melt a large hole into the facility’s metal and vinyl roof.
Agri-Nutrients is a blender that supplies wholesale fertilizer to the specialty and lawn and garden markets.
