The Mickelberry Sausage Company plant explosion was a massive explosion and fire that killed nine people in Chicago on 7 February 1968.^[1] The factory made meat products such as hot dogs, lard, and hams under the Mickleberry Old Farm brand.^[2] It was located near the corner of 49th Place and South Halsted Street in the city's Back of the Yards district.^[3] Nine people were killed, including four Chicago firefighters. Seventy people were injured.^[4]

A gasoline truck was making a delivery in the alley behind the plant, when a valve on the truck was sheared off by an obstruction allowing the gasoline to flow freely.^[5] The fuel leaked into the basement of the facility where it ignited causing a series of explosions.^[1]

The company's president ran back into the rubble apparently to rescue those trapped inside. He was killed.^[3]
