Nebraska plant explosion killed 2 girls and an employee, and the fire is still burning

Nebraska plant explosion killed 2 girls and an employee, and the fire is still burning

Two girls and an adult who went missing when a huge explosion tore through a Nebraska biofuels plant are confirmed dead, officials said Wednesday. More than a day after the blast, fire crews were still battling smoldering flames and say they can’t safely enter the plant’s unstable wreckage.The children had been waiting for the employee at Horizon Biofuels to finish work so they could go to a doctor’s appointment when the explosion shook the town at around noon Tuesday, Fremont Mayor Joey Spellerberg said. He wasn’t sure of their exact ages but said both were under age 12. Authorities did not provide their names or details on how the three were related.The plant makes animal bedding and wood pellets for heating and smoking food, using tons of wood waste. Spellerberg said authorities believe the blast was likely a wood dust explosion in the plant’s tall elevator tower.“That’s really the only thing that makes sense,” Spellerberg said. He said Horizon Biofuels is cooperating “as far as I know.”The company did not immediately respond to phone calls seeking comment. Nebraska21 hours agoAn explosion and fire at a Nebraska plant are preventing a search for 3 missing peopleMississippiJul 28Watch: 18-wheeler explodes on Mississippi interstateThe top of the elevator tower was torn apart, exposing a mangled concrete-and-rebar core. Metal siding on the building below was left crumpled and charred, while wisps of white smoke drifted into the air Wednesday despite rain overnight. Spellerberg said fire crews were evaluating whether the whole facility might collapse, making it difficult to get inside as they battle the fire.“It’s going to be very slow,” said Carl Nielsen of the city’s volunteer fire department. He said authorities do not have a timeline for when they expect the bodies to be recovered. “My heart hurts,” Spellerberg told reporters. “It’s a tragedy. We pray for all the families involved.”The company has 10 employees, according to the Nebraska Manufacturing Extension Partnership. A 2014 fire at the building had damaged the electrical system but left the structure intact, according to reporting by the Fremont Tribune. Significant accumulations of wood dust particles can be a fire and explosion hazard, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.Taylor Kirklin, who lives about a half mile from the building, said her whole house shook from the explosion, which was so loud she thought someone had crashed a car into her family’s dog kennel business on the property.“We were really unsure when the explosion happened which plant it was, because there are so many in that area,” she said. The facility is surrounded by other manufacturing and food processing plants.Fremont, a city of about 27,000 and the sixth-largest in Nebraska, is 32 miles northwest of Omaha.Emily Anderson, who lives just blocks from the plant, said she heard “one really big boom” before police cars flooded in.“There were just huge plumes of very, very black smoke,” Anderson said. “It was scary.”

Why did the Fall River assisted living facility previously lose certification?

Why did the Fall River assisted living facility previously lose certification?

An assisted living facility in Fall River, Massachusetts, that was the site of the state’s deadliest fire in four decades, had previously lost its certification due to complaints about mistreatment of residents.More than two dozen complaints were filed against the Gabriel House over the past decade. Those complaints range from abuse and neglect, to bed bugs and roaches, to withholding medication or overmedicating.In 2016, state regulators from the State Executive Office of Aging and Independence say the center lost its ability to accept new residents for about a month.The most recent compliance review found numerous repeat violations, many related to record keeping. But the state renewed its certification in December 2023, after the facility submitted a corrective plan.Former Gabriel House employee Debra Leonidas says she was a patient care advocate at the assisted living facility for about six months, leaving due to what she described as unbearable working conditions.Leonidas says while she was surprised by the July 13 fire that killed 10 residents, she says it was “like an accident waiting to happen.”“It was really, really dirty and no matter how much you cleaned it, there were roaches in there I don’t even know how they fed them the food that they fed them because I was like what is this you’re giving them, you can’t even tell what they’re eating....and we never did,” Leonidas said. “I don’t think we ever did fire drills at all, I don’t think so, I don’t think we did any fire drills at all when I was there.”The owner of Gabriel House has previously refused to speak with reporters, but said he is cooperating with the investigation into the fire.More Fall River storiesFall River14 hours agoFall River assisted living facility previously lost certification for mistreatmentFall RiverJul 25Gabriel House owner shares new statement on deadly Fall River fireFall RiverJul 22Survivor of Fall River assisted living facility fire files lawsuit

Sea breezes kick in, hazy smoke overhead before rain returns Sunday

Storms brought a few pockets of minor damage to Greater Boston yesterday, but they managed to put a dent in the heat and humidity late in the afternoon. We’ll continue with that theme today as the fresh, dry airmass settles in. Sunshine will be shrouded by hazy smoke moving high overhead, and sea breezes will kick in along the coast. It’s a recipe for highs in the upper 70s to low 80s this afternoon.We’ll have a comfortable night before the clouds take over late. Showers will quickly move in our direction by early tomorrow, with the first drops arriving by mid-morning. Unfortunately, they’ll still be around through early/mid-afternoon, so the day isn’t looking all that spectacular if you have outdoor plans. The heaviest rain seems to be focused on northern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire this time around, where nearly an inch may fall. Showers across southeastern Mass. (from Plymouth to Cape Cod) on the other hand, may take their sweet time moving in, possibly arriving as late as early afternoon. Amounts look much lighter there.Heat comes roaring back early next week as highs nudge 90 (Monday) and top 90 (Tuesday). Then it vanishes again as the cooler air comes to the rescue by midweek. We’ve had both sides of summer this year: the searing heat and the swift relief. A little something for everyone.Have a great weekend!
