WINNIPEG — Dow Chemical’s plans to grind away those straw bales sitting in a field in Elie were interrupted with Wednesday’s fire, but the company will get back to the job as quickly as possible.

Company spokeswoman Shawna Bruce said the fire destroyed the remote-controlled horizontal grinder that the RCMP said caused the fire, adding Dow will get a new grinder into the fields as soon as one is available.

The chief of the Cartier fire department said 400 bales were destroyed in the fire, which began at 11 a.m. on Wednesday. That figure is slightly more than the number the Dow grinder turns into compost every day.
