Last week in Hermiston, Oregon, an explosion occurred at Shearer's Foods, an "award-winning private brand and contract manufacturer" that's makes various types of snacks. There are only 20,000 people living in Hermiston, and this processing plant was one of the largest employers in the area. This location is the only Shearer's location on the West Coast. Nobody was killed during the fire, but there were seven workers at the building at the time who were taken to a nearby hospital. They're either stable or in fair condition.
