mhr1961 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 It was reported that one of the chemicals stored at the facility was calcium chloride. It is stable unless heated. A fire broke out and most likely triggered a sprinkler system. Calcium chloride when heated and mixed with water forms acetylene......and then boom. Ammonia was also stored there along with potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJ Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I don't know about you Harald, but for me, I'm kind of glad to some degree of being retired from that. Always wondering about those couple locations that you have in your district that can cause pretty spectacular explosions under certain situations. Most places with agriculture will have a farm chemical depot with some pretty nasty reactive stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, at my position, I am glad it's not my watch any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
