recent wood dust explosion in our area killed one, injured one and burned the building down.
Wood scrap piles burned for three days and still smolder.
Over 40 departments, 200 + men (& women) involved. They had to use tanker trucks and even tried air drops on the piles.
IOSHA report hasn't been filed yet but non-compliance with Article 500 equipment or wiring is possible.
Alternately Wood chippers produce dust and if a piece of wood has a nail there may be sparking.
Followed by .............BOOM
