Seriously, How Stupid Do You Have To Be?
To blame a fire, in a flour mill in Eastern Oregon, on President Biden?
The Grain Craft flour mill is a total loss, according to the Pendelton Fire Department. At this time of year, the silos were at capacity, which intensified the fire.
A "rubber boot", that is part of the sifter that caught on fire, is the likely suspect. It caught on fire 2 days ago, and fire crews thought they had extinguished it, but the fire restarted about 18 hours later.
The mill is the 3rd largest in the US. The mill employs 22 people. I know we're a young nation, but that mill is part of the history of that region. I have not been to Pendelton since, May, but I will heading back later this month.
Fortunately, this part of the nation has a lot of "milling" capacity, given the abundance of grain agriculture, and proximity to the Columbia shipping lanes, and rail lines.
