EZ Days,
There were CSX tracks near the fire that were shut down due to the smoke. Still no word on cause but it is coming out that the company was in violation of city code. They mainly recycle wood pallets and they were improperly stored and stacked. I would guess that the explosions were propane tanks from the forklifts. I am just glad we had a windy day that took the smoke up pretty far we did not get any ash fall but it stunk bad. There were some areas south of Columbus that reported ash falling from the sky. There was so much thick smoke it showed up on the weather radar.
The Columbus Dispatch had a video of the fire on their web site.
