(Australia)

FIRE crews are battling an intense blaze at a bacon factory at Kingaroy, northwest of Brisbane.

Emergency services were called to the fire at SunPork Fresh Foods’ Swickers bacon factory on Kingaroy-Barkers Creek Rd about 8am, where they found the factory engulfed in flames.

It is understood nearby homes and businesses were evacuated amid fears that the smoke could be carrying a toxic chemical.

Police have cordoned off the road and have urged motorists to avoid the area.

Paramedics remain on standby. It’s believed no one has been injured.

Local LNP Member for Nanango and Deputy Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington tweeted an image of the fire.

Federal Member for Maranoa David Littleproud has offered assistance to SunPork and its employees.

“This iconic business has played an integral part for employment in the South Burnett and Queensland’s pork processing for more than 50 years,” he said in a statement.

Swickers is a fully enclosed shoe site and enclosed shoes must be worn when entering the premises.
You will be immediately asked to leave if you do not follow this direction

Been getting that thin bacon that comes precooked in the flat pack, like 15 slices for $2.50-3 bucks. Pull out what you want, lay it in a paper towel, nuke it 15-20 sec and it’s done. You can also heat it the skillet for breakfast, and cook the eggs in the bacon fat that renders out while heating. Yum!

I must admit, I completely prefer bacon I cook myself in a pan, but...to get 70% of the pleasure of eating bacon without the mess/effort/time, well...I like that option, too!

And there’s nothing like the aroma of frying bacon, too. I’ve got a big 16x12 electric skillet for just such auspicious occasions... I’ve found bacon marked down and it gets cooked, wrapped in foil and in der freezer it goes. It doesen’t last long around here. ;)

I live near where a Wonder Bread bakery was once located.The wonderful aroma of baking bread was heavenly.I'll bet this fire features the same wonderful aromas.

I use to do the pan thing until a friend told me this.

Oven on bake 330F. Line a cookie sheet with non stick aluminum foil. Lay out bacon single file.

All ovens are different, so watch cooking time. I cook 20 mins, then flip over. Cook until golden.

Take sheet out and remove bacon from it. Here is the beauty part, wait till the fat solidifies. Roll up foil and toss in trash.
