Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Explosions rock waste-management plant Last Updated Thu, 05 May 2005 23:23:20 EDT CBC News EDMONTON - A series of explosions ripped through an Edmonton plant that handles hazardous waste on Thursday, forcing the evacuation of nearby businesses and raising fears of toxic fumes. Within a few hours, firefighters managed to quell the fire at the waste-management facility, which disposes of PCBs, gas cylinders, flammable liquids and other dangerous substances. Hundreds of people were moved out of the area as a precaution. Many said they were worried that they inhaled toxins as thick clouds of black smoke billowed into the air. However, Alberta Environment officials said their tests ruled out any health hazard. The fire started with a huge explosion in late afternoon at Custom Environmental Services Ltd., located in an industrial park on the city's east side. http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/05/05/edmonton-fire050505.html Dear List Members, Dasha is Ra/Ra/Ra/Mo/Ra.
