Fire forces evacuation at Pinnacle Foods

JACKSON, Tenn. — A fire at Pinnacle Foods in east Jackson forced employees to briefly evacuate the building, early Tuesday evening.

Officials on the scene said the small blaze started because of a mechanical issue in a flash freezer used in the making of waffles.
