A major fire broke out early Tuesday morning at the Agri Star Meat and Poultry Plant in Postville, Iowa, sending thick smoke into the sky as firefighters from multiple departments across northeast Iowa worked to contain the blaze. The fire, reported shortly after 4 a.m., prompted a smoke advisory in nearby Fayette County, where officials warned of potential visibility and air quality issues. No injuries have been reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. It marks at least the third fire at the facility - formerly the Agriprocessors plant - in recent years.
