One person was injured and more than 18,000 cows died in an explosion and fire at a Texas dairy farm on Monday night.
The disaster took place at Southfork Dairy Farms near Dimmitt, which is located between Lubbock and Amarillo.
“This is by far the deadliest barn fire for cattle overall and the most devastating barn fire in Texas since we began tracking barn fires in 2013,” said Margie Fishman with the Animal Welfare Institute, according to KVII-TV in Amarillo.

One woman injured in the fire was taken to a hospital in Lubbock. She was reported in critical condition.
Castro County Sheriff Sal Rivera said the State Fire Marshal’s Office ruled that the fire began in “a piece of machinery.”
