A dairy plant in Wisconsin went into a meltdown during a fire that spilled warmed butter into the historic Portage Canal.
Portage Fire Chief Troy Haase said although the melted butter had been"99% contained" to the plant, some of the liquid spilled into the nearby Portage Canal, a historic waterway.
The spill was floating on top of the canal in an area about 30 by 20 feet wide, Haase said. The fire department said that a hazmat team dealt with the mess in the canal by using boom absorbents, which are also used to control oil spills.
