Firefighters from several departments are battling an explosive Central City blaze.
CENTRAL CITY, IA -- Firefighters from multiple departments are battling an explosive blaze in Central City Thanksgiving morning.
A series of explosions rocked the industrial IGD Environmental Services (Iowa Gold Distributing) building, and billowing black smoke can be seen for miles around. Authorities estimate the fire could rage for an extended period of time because the building was full of oil bins, according to CBS2/FOX28.
