THere is a GE plastics about 30 miles away from where I live. The warehouse caught fire a couple of years ago and we could smell it where I live. It burned for 4 days and they finally called the Red Adair firefighting company from Houston, Tx. to come and put it out. I went to help fight it for a couple of days. THe local FF's were exhausted so they called fire depts. from 50-60 miles away in all directions.

We had one of our warehouses filled with plastic products catch fire 15+ years ago and it melted the I-beams into the sewer and spalled the concrete out in the parking lot. It burned out in two days. Once plastic starts burning, it reverts to petroleum really fast...
