Watch everyone become sick weeks, months, years. An unknown chemical ya say 👀👀👀

[traceeferrell]

They needed to shut down Bio Lab years ago!!! 😡 Third chemical fire. This is a disaster.

[Moo-Ahhhhhh]

Better living through chemicals, until...

[hookedoutfitters]

This is the third time in seven years this place has caught on fire. It would just be washed downstream just like everything else. Nothing’s going to be done to buy lab. They never do nothing to them.

Orange can't be good. Oooh, that smell. Can't u smell that smell. The smell of BioLab around yooou.

[ImpossiblyBlack]

Never heard of a sprinkler system starting a fire.

[johnliller]

A bio lab. Gee, coof 2.0 just in time for the election.

Washington tri city had 100 earthquakes few days ago next to a nuclear facility

A sprinkler malfunctioned? Unless that’s somehow part of the manufacturing process, I’d think they have other issues besides a sprinkler. What caused the sprinklers to go off in the first place?

[leeelliott]

Likely Potassium Chloride burning that gives off that orange smoke. It is used in pools and spas.

INTERESTING just so close to the election 🤔

[longroad]

How does a sprinkler malfunction cause a fire ? I thought a sprinkler was designed to put out a fire. Don't know if she even knows what she's reporting on.

They can’t say what specific kind of chemical? Obviously, it’s all of them. WTF ever is there is on fire!

My heart breaks for the citizens of this municipality. Earlier reports showed the fire chief stating that she didn't know what it was. I find that disturbing because of all the people she should've known, which says a lot about her fire department. Instead of talking to reporters with no PPE, she should've been on the fireground wearing PPE, directing the scene, and learning about what she was in service to know. For as long as the cloud lingers in the air, the scene is not safe, nor is it under control. She stated that she's been in that poition for 7 years. This is the 3rd hazardous materials incident since then. Prior incidents were caused by water reaction. How many people are not doing their jobs?

I just got an emergency alert on my phone from homeland security about this 😳

[jmar]

So a chemical fire in Conyers, a chemical fire in Frisco TX, and railcar chemical leak near Cincinnati, OH, and a Tier 2 Hazmat incident in Hanover, MA all this month of Sept.
Not to mention two post offices in Central Florida, not the only recent incidents, receiving mailing with mercury in them. A city near me had someone pour mercury outside on the walkway into the store. Something is going on.

[kristiowens]

Seriously, WTF?! Ok, if people still can’t see that we’re under a!!ack from the inside, May God Bless you all!! 🙏🏻♥️💯

[SarahStuff-pu]

All I can say is get way out of there if you live nearby, them pool chemicals are nasty stuff, like deadly nasty.
