Nearby residents reported hearing a loud explosion at the start of the fire. The home was completely engulfed in flames when the fire department arrived. Smoke rose so thick that one neighbor east of the fire said it seemed almost like night out at 6 pm.
Very calm air conditions kept the smoke from dispersing out of the area. It built up as a pervasive thick haze that spread throughout much of the village of North Springfield. Looking like a biomass opponent's worst imaginings. But the odor smelled more like plastic burning than wood smoke.

everyones worst nightmare. Truely sorry for the folks who lost their home. Hopefully they were insured. If not, hopefully the community will pull together to help.

DeleteWhat's libelous about it? Especially considering the out-and-out nonsense that the biomass plant opponents have been spewing to drum up hysteria?
ReplyDeleteBut back to the topic, I'm glad the man has only minor injuries and hope he is able to find a place to live soon.
