Firefighters from 11 departments spanning three counties fought a stubborn fire Wednesday at the Custom Quality Packers plant.
Some 75 firefighters from Nash, Wilson and Franklin counties fought the fire for five hours from 9:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.
High heat and humidity made it difficult for firefighters. As the fire raged, a hundred pigs were let out a chute at the corner of the building as smoke billowed out just a few feet over their heads.
