Fertilizer plant blew up. Evacuation. Correction, it is a fire.
(CNN) -- A chemical fire involving sulfuric acid forced the evacuation of an entire Iowa town Thursday, emergency management officials said.
The roughly 2,000 people in Northwood, near the Minnesota state line, were told to head to a community center about 6 miles south of town, according to an emergency message from the Worth County Emergency Management agency.
"A fire that is burning at a facility at the Northwood Municipal Airport contains sulfuric acid. This is a dangerous situation," the message warned. County officials told residents who didn't have transportation to gather at the courthouse for a ride.
