The massive explosion and fire storm which destroyed a Prince George B.C. mills two days ago is a tragic warning of the need to be constantly monitoring our surroundings -- whether you are working in such a complex -- your own home.
The latest word about the possible causes this fire which killed two workers so far is that it could have been caused by too much dust -- and bad housekeeping in the mill.
What the complete investigation will reveal remains to be seen but the mill fire, the second in B.C. in three months, is a reminder that we are constantly surrounded by dangerous environments.
Two other examples of this recently are two families we know were the victims of gas leaks in their homes. In one case it appears that the gas leak caused or contributed to the death of one family member the crippling of another. And in yet another instance family members became very ill before the gas leak was detected.
So -- without becoming paranoid -- it is a good idea to be vigilant for possible assailants around you in the form of both other persons as well thins like natural gas, carbon dioxide, and radon leaks.
