Deadly Dust Explosions, Boston Audio, Chief Ray Downey (The Secret List)

All,

Earlier this year, the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) released a new safety video on its investigation into the fatal combustible dust explosions and fires at the Didion Milling facility in Cambria, Wisconsin, on May 31, 2017. Five employees were killed in the incident, and 14 others were injured. The incident also destroyed the facility, resulting in over $15 million in property damage.

“Deadly Dust: Explosions at Didion Milling” — the below 15-minute video includes an animation of the events leading up to the incident and commentary from CSB Board Members.

While the facts of the recent tragic Maine fire, explosion, and LODD of Morrill, Maine FF Andrew Cross, 27, as well as the 6 Fire/EMS members, and the civilians who were critically burned) are not out, we thought this would be of general interest.
