Fire Scare Strikes Bath As 800 Evacuated From Chemical Fire
About 800 residents from Bath and nearby areas were evacuated as a chemical fire at Dixie Clay Co. sent smoke over Horse Creek Valley. Officials said a heat reaction among polymethylene, polyisocyanate, amines and hydrocarbons produced a hazardous foam emitting gases including carbon monoxide. No groundwater danger was found, but hydrogen cyanide traces prompted the precaution. Fire crews from multiple departments contained the blaze, and evacuees were sheltered at Bath First Baptist Church and Bath Methodist Church before returning home. Dixie Clay Road remained closed.
