2 No cause or origin, yet, for explosion and fires at Holly Industries in Acton Second blast in eight years concerns Council and neighbours When the cause and origin of last Thursday's explosion and fires at Acton's Holly Indus tries is determined by the Ontario Fire Marshall's Office, Halton Hills Mayor Rick Bonnette has some tough questions for the company which operates the sulphur manufacturing plant on Eastern Avenue. "I think its time to talk to Holly Industries. Two fires in eight years, and near a residential area. I think that we'll need to have a discussion when we find out what the results were," Bonnette said at Monday's Town council meeting, adding the Acton councillors and public share concerns about the two incidents. Asked at Council for an update, Fire Chief Brent Marshall reported that although there was a small, minor evacuation by Halton Police of three or four homes on Hillcrest Street, "no real hazardous conditions existed," and the fire was not difficult to contain. Later, Chief Marshall said there had been a natural gas explosion in the plant, but investigators don't know if it sparked the explosion or the explosion caused the gas leak. cussion to dissipate. He also said during the most recent Fire Department inspection, Holly In dustries "met every Fire Code regulation." Five Holly employees escaped without injury from the plant, which refines molten sulphur into granules or pellets, mainly for the tire industry. When Acton's Ron White, owner of the n e i g h b o u r i n g R o n 's Burner Service, heard "a big bang" and saw the sky fill with smoke, he didn't think of his own safety, but ran into the building to see if everyone got out safely. "Our service manager dialled 911 and then we ran across the rail tracks to the backdoor which was open and didn't see anybody," White said on Monday, adding he was concerned that someone might have been in the burning building. "I went around to the front (of the building) and everyone was standing there and then the police and that showed up, so I went back to the office to work," White said. While his wife called him a "hero" e m e rg e n c y s e r v i c e s officials are always concerned that an untrained citizen trying to help may end up being an additional victim. The plant has been turned back over to company officials who are working with insurance officials.

"One is natural gas and the other is suspended sulphur dust. It's one or the other," he said. Owens said several items were removed from the scene for testing, including natural gas piping, sent to the Centre of Forensic Science for metallurgical testing, and some of the sulphur product in liquid, granular and pellet form. He expects the test results within eight weeks. He also said he'd heard unconfirmed reports that the incident caused $1.5-million damage.
