The iconic Domino Sugar plant in Locust Point is up and running again, two days after a three-alarm fire destroyed the plant s silo and conveyor belt.
American Sugar Refining Inc., the refinery s owner, announced Thursday the facility was back online and processing, packaging and shipping sugars that were in process or ready to ship when the fire broke out Tuesday. They pledged to restore full operations as soon as possible.
“We want to thank the men and women of the Baltimore City Fire Department, our employees and everyone who ensured that no injuries occurred,” Luis Fernandez, co-president of ASR Group, said in a statement. “We are confident that the talent and dedication of the Baltimore Refinery’s employees will ensure the refinery will quickly overcome this challenge. We remain committed to continuing to supply our customers during this time.”
