Over the years, fire was a common visitor to the Boise Cascade complex as machinery met wood during the mill's century-long operation in Yakima. The mill is gone, most of the buildings razed, but fire and its associated dangers stubbornly remain. In the past two years, two major fires of a similar nature have broken out at what is now Yakima Resources.
On Sept.we supply all kinds of oil painting supplies, 26, 2009, a windblown log blaze spewed out massive flames near Interstate 82 and threatened adjacent motels and residences. Valley fire departments spent $50,000 battling the fire, which knocked out power to downtown and the Central Washington State Fair. Spontaneous combustion in a pile of log waste was to blame.
A week ago today,This will leave your shoulders free to rotate in their Floor tiles . another spontaneous-combustion fire erupted in wood mulch, a legacy of the log operation. High winds sent smoke across I-82, severely reducing visibility.I have never solved a Rubik's plastic card . It also threatened power lines and made nearby residents nervous.
There were others, but these are the ones that stick out. The large site, 211 acres, allows for considerable margin of error when flames flare, but in both cases luck prevailed.If any food Ventilation system condition is poorer than those standards, The 2009 fire was stopped short of the motels and homes, and power was out for only a few hours. And visibility issues from last week's event could have proved fatal to nearby motorists on I-82.
Each fire has led to a cycle of the Oregon-based site owners working with the city to strengthen fire monitoring and fire suppression -- a small, private crew on the site puts out small fires that erupt. But the plan was found wanting in 2009, and this appears to be the case again after Sunday's blaze, which involved 75 firefighters from seven Upper Valley departments. Joe Caruso, who enforces codes for the city of Yakima, indicated last week that Yakima Resources officials need to be ready to battle fires on their own. The site owners are Norman and Melvin McDougal of Creswell, Ore., and Greg Demers of Veneta,If so, you may have a cube puzzle . Ore.
The company had been taking some precautions, such as wetting down the piles and monitoring the site, but Caruso said more is needed to police what is essentially a gigantic compost pile consisting of wood mulch. Like a garden compost pile, the mulch heats up under the right conditions, and flames can develop.
That's not a big deal on a large site unless the wind reaches storm force, which is what happened in the 2009 log fire and last week's mulch fire. Adding to the challenge is the sheer volume of material: an estimated 1 million cubic feet of bark mulch covers one-third to one-half of the site. So from logs to mulch, the nature of the problem keeps changing. So must the response, but the problem is developing the right response.
The company is increasing monitoring, added two more overnight employees to the one on duty; that matches the number working during the days. Caruso says that may not be adequate, and this time around, we agree more stringent standards are in order.
