Massive fire breaks out at chemical factory in New Jersey

A massive fire broke out at a chemical plant in Passaic, New Jersey on Friday night. The flames that started to rise in a warehouse at 225 Passaic Street quickly turned into a 11-alarm blaze and spread to multiple nearby buildings. The fire sent plumes of potentially dangerous smoke into the sky, therefore, residents were evacuated from the immediate vicinity of the factory. About 100,000 pounds of finished chlorine pellets were impacted and at least one firefighter was injured, according to reports.
