Fire sends butter into sewer in Wisconsin

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource is helping clean up after a fire flooded a dairy plant with butter.

The fire broke out in a butter storage room at the Associated Milk Producers, Inc., facility in Portage around 9 p.m. on Monday, the Wisconsin State Journal reported.

Firefighters needed several hours to extinguish the blaze. Plant personnel have been clearing butter out of their equipment since the fire but the facility is still operating effectively, agency officials said.
