ANDERSON, Indiana (AP) — A magnesium recycling plant’s sprinkler system helped turn a small fire in a scrap bin into a toxic inferno that forced thousands of people from their homes, fire investigators said.
After magnesium in a scrap bin caught fire Friday evening, plant workers immediately tried to put it out with dry material, Anderson Deputy Fire Chief Mike McKinley said.
“Before they could put it out, the sprinkler went off,” he said Saturday.
