Crews battle large fire at building on Oregon bayfront

Firefighters aimed hose lines into thick smoke on the bayfront in Newport, Oregon, where a large fire broke out at a building that houses the Pacific Seafood plant.

The ABC News report is short, but its main point is clear. Evacuations are in place within a mile of the facility, and the anchor says "authorities say they're concerned about the potential for ammonia contamination in the area from that plant." The report does not say what started the fire, and it does not mention any injuries.

The footage, credited to the City of Newport, starts close to the crews and the burning building. Wider shots then show the smoke drifting across the harbor. The bayfront is the working waterfront of one of Oregon's busiest fishing ports, so the plant sits among the docks and processing buildings that serve the coast's fishing fleet.

The clip drew more than 130,000 views within its first eight hours. The fire also earned a brief segment on Sunday's World News Tonight, in a broadcast that included flooding across the Southwest and a rockslide that closed a trail in Utah's Provo Canyon.
