A fire at the Winston Weaver Fertilizer Plant threatens thousands of homes and businesses within a mile radius.

Firefighters are very concerned about the potential of explosions at the plant on North Cherry Street. Neighbors already reported hearing two big and loud ‘booms’ since the fire started Monday evening.

At a press conference, in Winston-Salem Tuesday, Fire Chief Mayo said there is not an immediate heat threat to rail cars containing about 100 tons of ammonium nitrate. However, the 1-mile evacuation plant radius stays in effect for now.

“Potentially the largest explosion in U.S. history,” Chief Mayo expressed. Chief Mayo said the fire is smaller now than this morning, and they will maintain an evacuation zone of a one-mile radius for at least 48 hours.

Andrew Carroll with Winston Weaver Fertilizer Plant spoke about the fire.
