A coastal city in Oregon issued evacuations after a fire erupted at a seafood wholesaler Sunday morning and there was concern the smoke contained ammonia. The City of Newport issued the order for a 1-mile (1.6-kilometer) radius around a Pacific Seafood processing plant and set up a shelter at a local church. City officials urged residents and visitors to stay indoors and to wear a mask outside.
The city, located about 132 miles southwest of Portland, Oregon, has a population of about 10,000 people. Its bayfront is a popular tourist attraction featuring restaurants, shops, and tours.
