Chemical fires are some seriously scary shit, it looks like there aren't any immediate fatalities but that whole community now has an elevated cancer risk.
- Rockdale County Fire Chief Marian McDaniel said in the seven years she's been with the department, this is the third incident of this magnitude at the plant."
  
  Fucking nightmare system. Yeah let's just not have a serious intervention at the plant that produces toxic chemicals that produce fumes when combined with water. Lets just fucking let this keep contaminating the environment where all these people live out their lives, yeah that's great, no way to prevent this you know? Totally necessary too, 100%.
3rd one in 7 years for this place
