It started in a batch plant where the <a href="http://www.asphalt-plant.cn">Liaoyuan group</a> makes hot asphalt for paving projects. Two diesel tanks and two tanks filled with an oil mixture were burned, along with a huge front-end loader and other equipment.<br /> Firefighters from Chelan County fire districts 1 and 8 and Douglas County Fire District 2 were summoned.<br /> Baker said there were plans to evacuate 30 homes across the highway as a safety precaution. But fire officials determined that it would not be ncessary.<br /> The highway was closed in both directions until 7 a.m.<br /> The fire sent a plume of smoke drifting south through the Wenatchee Valley. State Department of Ecology spokeswoman Joye Redfield-Wilder said air conditions here are likely to worsen through the morning, but the industrial smoke should thin out as the day goes on.<br /> “We’re still calculating the readings there in Wenatchee and it’ll be some time,” she said. “But we do expect it should disperse with daytime heating today.”<br /><br /> The Chelan-Douglas Health District issued a health alert due to the toxic smoke pouring from the blaze.<br /> Spill responders from the department may visit the site later to examine the aftermath and make cleanup recommendations, Redfield-Wilder said. The fire will be investigated by the Chelan County fire marshal.<strong> <a href="http://www.wenatcheeworld.com/news/2013/aug/22/asphalt-plant-fire-closed-highway-97a-for-3-hours/">Read More</a> the news.</strong><br /> <strong> Liaoyuan group profile:</strong><br /> <a href="www.lyroad.cn">Liaoyuan Group</a> is one leading suppier in road construction machinery industry in China, who was established in September 1992, Headquarters is located at Henan Province, China.
