Firefighters were called to the scene of factory fire at Hardwicks Meatworks in Kyneton last Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Incident controller Tristian Smith said the alarm was raised about 3pm after air conditioning units in the roof of a cool store area caught fire.<\/p>\n
“CFA worked alongside Hardwicks management to return the facility to operation. A section of the facility will have to be repaired,” Mr Smith said.<\/p>\n
About 100 staff were evacuated and no one was injured. There were no injuries to livestock.<\/p>\n
Thirteen appliances attended from Kyneton, Lancefield, Woodend, Malmsbury, Carlsruhe and Tylden, assisted by a ladder platform from Fire Rescue Victoria.<\/p>\n

The blaze was extinguished in about an hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
