  Fertilizer plants are super capable of fires and explosions like this from the smallest things. Saw something on Rock Center recently about safety at industrial plants - specifically dust in the air that can explode, microscopic shards of metal, other flammables. OSHA knows there are hundreds of plants with issues but not enough manpower to make changes.

  A tiny fire of explosion at a fertilizer plant of all places has an easy chance of getting out of control.
