@afrivision.media: A massive fire erupted Sunday morning at Pacific Seafood's processing facility along the historic Newport Bayfront in Oregon, sending thick smoke into the sky and forcing nearby residents and businesses to evacuate. Authorities issued emergency evacuation orders affecting areas within approximately one mile of the facility as firefighters battled the flames and hazardous materials teams responded to concerns about possible ammonia contamination. The Oregon State Fire Marshal confirmed that ammonia was present at the facility, but said the main ammonia tank did not appear to be punctured or leaking. Emergency crews continued monitoring air quality to assess potential dangers to the surrounding community. No injuries had been reported in the initial response. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. Residents are urged to follow official evacuation instructions, avoid the affected area, and remain indoors where advised as emergency operations continue. #Oregon #NewportOregon #PacificSeafood #Ammonia #FireEmergency
