Ernest and Barbara Clark are suing DuPont Danisco.
They are claiming the company has acted recklessly and carelessly in storing the highly combustible corn stover across from their home.
On March 31st, at least eight of the bails caught fire and the wind pushed the fire toward their home. Some of their property was damaged. Embers burned the home’s exterior and smoke and ash covered the home’s interior.
