Seriously - Arsenic poisoning from burning plastic smoke is not cool - but still :-) This Factory is about 1/4 mi from where the plant I work at is located. To give you an idea - Google maps shows where our plant is being constructed (upper left) and the one that burnt last night (it is the top white building of the 3 in the center)

As I was driving to the facility last night I had to pull over for Firetrucks, as I got closer I saw flames rising 75-100' and thought "hey that is near (my company). OMG - Please not US!!". As I got closer I saw that it was not us, but was very close. Part of me was like "I hope everyone is alright and that the fire personnel have good equipment (all of the plants in the area deal with hazardous stuff)" and the other part was like "Who brought the Drums!!!!"

In any case - after the scary fire at Yulecat's, and then one close to me - I hope the pattern STOPS. Be careful everyone.

Pics added per request :-) They were taken from my Treo so the quality is not great, but you get the idea.


This was the first pic I took. It was taken at 10:56pm, about an hour after the fire was reported.



The following pics were taken at 11:33pm and 11:35pm. As you can see there is a BIG difference between the two.



There was a big "BOOM" and then this happened.
