Woodland Ag Facility Full Of Hemp Catches Fire; Crews Say It Will Take Some Time To Put Out

WOODLAND (CBS13) – Firefighters say they expect to be at the scene for a while after an agricultural facility in rural Woodland caught fire early Friday morning.

Woodland Fire crews responded to the scene along the 1800 block of County Road 98 around 4 a.m.

Crews report that the fire involves a heavy fuel load, meaning it will take some time to put out the flames.
