The Alliance Volunteer Fire Department was called to New Alliance Bean & Grain early Thursday morning to a fire.

The facility is located on the west side of Alliance along Highway 385 and includes multiple storage bins that are connected by a series of augars and conveyors.

Flames from the fire were visible with a lot of smoke on the upper conveyor on the west end.  

The Alliance Fire Department responded with several tanker trucks and a the ladder truck. They were able to contain the fire a little before 8 a.m. 

Alliance Volunteer Fire Chief Troy Shoemaker said the Hemingford Volunteer Fire Department also assisted with the fire. 

The investigation is continuing and we will have more information as it becomes available.
