Warehouse fire forces evacuation of Grandview schools, homes
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002161416_webwarehousefire26.html

GRANDVIEW, Wash. — Authorities evacuated schools, homes and businesses near a burning warehouse full of farm chemicals that was sending contaminated smoke into the air today.
The fire at the Wilbur Ellis Co. warehouse started when a vehicle inside the building caught fire, and it spread to pesticides, a police dispatcher said. There were no reports of injuries

The roughly 6,000-square-foot warehouse stores agricultural chemicals and fertilizers, according to Ken Cowdry, manager of the company's safety, regulatory and environmental group in Yakima. About five people work at the warehouse.

1. Can't wait for the cluster
of people with "personality disorders" that will come from this fire. At least that is what the health department and big business - their doctors and lawyers - will call the people who were sickened by the fumes.
