Mill blast at Cambria Didion plant raises safety questions
A Didion Milling Plant in Cambria Wisconsin exploded late Wednesday, killing at least two workers and leaving another missing as OSHA teams investigate. The plant faced a 2011 dust explosion hazard citation with a $3,465 fine after a required safety upgrade was due by 2011, and no citations since. Fire officials said a smaller Monday fire may be linked. Emergency responders from many departments supported the effort, and local schools closed as residents faced brief power losses.
