A dire situation developed at a plastic recycling plant in Richmond, Indiana Tuesday afternoon.

Firefighters and multiple agencies responded to a massive fire at the plant, which reportedly stored over 1800 propane tanks that faced the risk of explosion.

According to reports, there were multiple explosions from the plant as a half-mile evacuation zone was ordered.

Over 2,000 residents had to flee the evacuation zone due to the enormous industrial fire.

Wow thanks for posting that video. Puts it into perspective. It will burn until all the plastic is consumed. Hard to put out a hot plastic fire.

Can an aerial tanker be used on a fire like that?

Years ago I watch a tanker paint a down town. Two dumps. Saving the rest of the stores.. Most of the time they do the painting to stop it. Not really put it out.
