A smoldering pile of twisted metal and charred lumber was all that remained Thursday morning after firefighters battled the blaze in downtown Prosser all night. A few firefighters remained at the scene to monitor the fire.

Firefighters were called old to the grain elevator at 500 7th St. shortly before 8 p.m. Wednesday.

“We’re getting many calls of the grain elevator just exploded ...” emergency dispatchers told police initially.
