Say what?

Apparently, it was a dumpster fire.

With how fast fiberglass goes up in flames it appears the fire response was quick based upon the pics alone. Hopefully contained if it was a dumpster fire.

From the Facebook comments, it appears that there were two different fires. One at 3 AM and another at around 8 PM, but I’m not sure if both happened on the same day. Sounds like both fires were at the Main Plant as versus the West Plant.

There were several Cobalt employees who commented that they had seen dumpster fires before. One said “I’ve seen a lot of dumpster fires when over catalyzed materials were put in the dumpsters.”
