Chemical Reactions

Four residents from Poole have been killed as a result of an explosion, which blasted chemical drums into the sky and sent them raining down on cars and homes.

An explosion at a chemical plant, has seen chemical drums travelling for miles in the sky and are causing concern across Poole.
Factory owner, Terry Verdon has described the incident as a “huge tragedy.” The fire has caused a lifetime of work to be destroyed within hours.

Founded in 1974, the factory has developed high standards of treatments for many life threatening illnesses and had just been given consent by the government, to produce a new life saving drug for children suffering with Leukaemia.

Having spent years perfecting the chemical concentrations, it was said that this drug would “cut victims of the illness by half.” Now it seems that this discovery will have to be put on hold, as Tony and his team attempt to put the pieces back together; something that could take up to five years.

This means that cancer patients will continue to suffer with the disease that kills 22,000 children a year in the UK alone.
Phil Dring, an emergency planning officer has called for 10,000 people to be evacuated from the surrounding area and Alder Road remains closed.

Residents who believed the fire was at Nelson Stanley’s scrap yard raised the alarm and after confusion, the emergency services located the Sigma at British Drug Houses.
Fire crew have been at the scene since 9.25am and there are now increasing health risks as the explosions have produced harmful acrid smoke. A Chief Fire Officer admitted that more crew are needed at the scene, as the blaze remains “out of control”.
