June 5 (Reuters) - Grain trader and processor

Archer-Daniels-Midland ( ADM ) said that a fire broke out in one

of its plants in Iowa on Wednesday that was contained by

firefighters.

The fire was detected in the morning at around 10.15 a.m. ET

by its employees during the demolition of a mill scrubber

located near its corn processing complex in Clinton, ADM

spokesperson Dane Lisser said.

The fire originated from materials inside the mill scrubber

and ADM officials promptly notified the fire department for

assistance and evacuated employees as a precaution, the company

said.

Later the fire was contained and no one was injured, ADM

said, adding that it was currently assessing the damage and

investigating the cause.

The facility, one of the three ADM locations with corn wet

mills, has the capability to produce several different

industrial products like ethanol as well as food and feed

ingredients.
