Firefighters Battle Fire At Atmore Chemical Plant
October 25, 2015
Firefighters spent several hours battling a fire at a chemical plant in Atmore.
Smoke was reported Saturday morning at Sunbelt Chemicals, located just off Highway 31 near the Atmore Country Club. The source of the smoke was traced to a smoldering fire inside insulation located over an office area inside the plant. The insulation contained sulfur dust that was burning, official said.
Firefighters worked for hours to remove the smoldering insulation. There were no injuries reported, and officials say the fire poised no danger to the public.
The plant manufactures and distributes sulfur products.
