(MILROY, Ind.) – Fire departments from across the region are on the scene of a pallet plant fire in Milroy Tuesday afternoon.

The fire is occurring at a property in the 3900 block of County Road 900 South between State Road 3 and County Road 500 West. 

The road is entirely blocked off to allow emergency personnel to get to and from the scene. 

There are fire departments from at least five counties that have responded including Decatur, Rush, Ripley, Franklin, and Shelby counties.
