Firefighters battle large blaze at Arkansas plant
CROSSETT, Ark.—Firefighters are working to put out a large fire at a plywood mill in south Arkansas that's forced evacuations in the area.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports the fire began Saturday moat the Georgia Pacific mill in Crossett, about 115 miles south of Little Rock.
A Georgia Pacific spokeswoman and local emergency management officials did not immediately return phone calls and email messages from The Associated Press.
A woman who answered a phone call to Ashley County Medical Center in Crossett declined to provide her name, but said the hospital had not received any patients as a result of the fire.
