#3  It's a small plant set up on about 5 acres on a county road in basically the middle of nowhere. Anybody who described it as "a large fire" has been sniffing the fumes.
How 'middle of nowhere'? The local school district (Goodrich) loaded all the kids, K-12th grade, on three school busses and evacuated. Three school busses. Everybody.
It's about 10 miles from me. Got to see the plume when grocery shopping yesterday.
