Thursday at Work So I'm

Thursday at Work

So I'm sitting at my desk (my office is in the plant) talking to hubby. All of a sudden I hear an alarm going off (not unusual at a plant) and it kept going and kept going. So I'm thinking that's not normal and look out into the plant and tell my hubby "Um, the plant is on fire I will have to call you back"

Go out of my office and the plant is filled with smoke, the alarm is the fire alarm and everyone is leaving, so out I go.

We mix our own mateials here and at one point during the mixing the stuff gets so hot that it can create a flash fire. That happened yesterday. This time they caught it in time and got the bin outside. Didn't get the dock doors closed quite enough and all the smoke was getting blown into the plant.

The smoke was so bad the plant next to us had to close their dock doors.

The firemen came and made sure the fire was out and let us go back in.

This isn't the first fire this company has had. Last year the same thing happened but they couldn't get the bin out in time, the sprinklers were set off.

Talk about excitement!
