Aluminium Plant Catches Fire With 100 Workers Working Inside....

The editors of APSB are ecstatic that no one at this aluminium plant was injured during the fire. APSB has decided to include the name and location (because there were no injuries reported). Here is the story:

A mid-state plant was evacuated after a fire broke out there overnight. 

It happened around 11:30 p.m. (February 1st) at the Nemak plant which is located along in Dickson, Tennessee.

When firefighters arrived on the scene, they said flames were visible in the furnaces and even in the vents on the roof. The plant makes aluminum cylinders, engines, and transmissions.

Fire officials said about 100 or so workers had to be evacuated from the plant.

Fire officials said the contents inside the plant made the fight especially difficult, and firefighters couldn't use what they're used to: water.

"They use multi-aluminum here at this plant, and that's what made it so difficult to use water. We didn't use water. We had to use a dry chemical powder to extinguish it," said Mike Goodman with City of Dickson Fire Department.

Fire officials said they were able to extinguish the fire within an hour.

It's still unclear though what sparked the flame, but investigators have been on the scene trying to determine that.
