Explosion at Morris chemical plant injures workers
An explosion and fire rocked a 400 acre Quantum Chemical plant in Morris Illinois injuring four workers and forcing about 100 homes to evacuate. The eight story polyethylene tower burned as firefighters from Morris Minooka and the plant fought the blaze under control by 3 30 a m Thursday. Authorities said no immediate health hazard from chemicals. The Illinois EPA and state fire marshal investigate the cause as plant staff from Quantum say the ethylene area sparked the blast. Forty five year old Felix Poke and two others were treated for chemical inhalation and minor burns. About 100 residents were advised to evacuate briefly and later allowed to return home.
