A fire that is burning at a facility at the Northwood Municipal Airport contains sulfuric acid. This is a dangerous situation. Residents of Northwood are being asked to evacuate immediately south of Northwood To The Kensett Community Center approximately 6 miles south of Northwood on Highway 65.

Residents who do not have Transportation can be transported to Kensett from the sheriffs office at 1000 Central Avenue Northwood Iowa. If transportation to the sheriffs office is needed call the Sheriff at 641-324-2481.

Repeating, this is a dangerous situation. Residents of Northwood should evacuate south of Northwood To The Kensett Community Center.

Residents are being allowed back.
