Just 11 miles southeast of Dimmitt, Texas, emergency crews responded to an explosion at the South Fork Dairy farm on Monday. The Castro County Sheriff’s Office only reported one person injured from the fire., the person pulled from the fire was a dairy farm worker. Officials said the worker was flown to the UMC Hospital in Lubbock.
