Yesterday a factory containing toxic chemicals caught fire and it was able to be controlled but not extinguished.

Schools were shut down, homes in the vicinity were evacuated as asbestos and dangerous chemicals blanketed the west.

I feel sorry for the people who reside close by and have had their homes contaminated by this toxic fire.

Fortunately no one was injured however I believe the fire is still going and can't be extinguished and will continue to burn until all the fuel is spent.
