OMAHA — Officials have shut down a stretch of U.S. Highway 75 as firefighters continue fighting a blaze at the PK Manufacturing plant.

The company makes agricultural spraying equipment, garden sprayers and custom steel products.
Several fire departments from the surrounding area, including Omaha, have been working to extinguish the fire.
There have been no reports of injuries.
