A massive fire at the Taylor Farms Processing Facility in Salinas that began late Wednesday night and prompted evacuations continued to smolder into Thursday afternoon.
The Salinas Fire Department says that 85 to 90 percent of the 225,000 square foot building is a total loss.
Taylor Farms is a major agriculture company that brings many of the salad kits seen in grocery stores and is a major employer.
Most of the surrounding area is made up of other businesses, which were evacuated. Residential areas downwind of the fire were told to shelter in place and schools canceled classes because of the toxic smoke caused by the ammonia.
The plant was closed for the season with many workers set to come from Yuma, Arizona on Monday.

a pundit was pointing out that this is the third food processing plant to go up in flames recently....
and yet people cling to normalcy bias that all is well....
