Inquiring Minds:
If you have any type of silo for a mill or grain in your jurisdiction, please review the noted dust explosion information. . .

The fire and explosion at a Maine lumber mill that killed one firefighter and injured several other people earlier this month involved combustible dust, according to new information released today by the Office of the Maine State Fire Marshal.

Combustible dust is a significant yet often misunderstood industrial hazard that can result in flash fires and even explosions under certain conditions.
