Grand Prairie plastics manufacturing plant fire contained, mostly extinguished

A massive fire is burning at an industrial park in Grand Prairie, west of Dallas. Firefighters are concerned about the toxic smoke and power lines that they said will come down at some point.

Saw that. Also saw that it was possibly caused by a fallen power line. Wonder how the poco will try to deflect blame.

How fire destroyed the I-85 steel and concrete bridge

The reporter stated that the fuel for the fire was PVC pipe stored under the bridge. Also said was that storage under a bridge is not allowed except for a short duration during a construction project. It would take a tremendous amount of PVC to create an inferno that lasts 2 hours.

One would assume that storing construction material under a bridge during a construction project would be material for a bridge construction project and never a fuel load like happened with this fire.
