Coffee plant evacuation
US
Two explosions at a Green Mountain Coffee roasting facility on Commercial Parkway and Blackie Road, forced the evacution of exployees. It happened around 2 this morning. Fire crews on scene say one of the coffee roasting machines overheated and caught on fire. The flames were contained inside the machine and there were no reports of any injuries.
Coffee does go on fire and can explode but it requires very high temperatures this is why sometimes companies have ignored the risk as needing protection?!
