Another day, another fire at a food processing plant.
One person is dead and several injured after an explosion at a poultry plant in Georgia.
An explosion at Tyson Foods Plant in southwest Georgia overnight killed a woman sleeping in the cab of an 18-wheeler parked next to the facility.
Several people were injured in the explosion. According to reports, a fire raged at the plant for 3 hours after the explosion.

“We extend our deepest condolences to their family and friends during this difficult time. Right now we are still gathering the facts, but ensuring the safety of our team members is our top priority, and we are conducting a full investigation into the cause of the fire,” Tyson said in a statement, according to The AP.
