Risk of explosion at Vihtavuori plant decreases, evacuated residents hopeful of returning home

Authorities remained on alert on Wednesday evening at the explosives plant in the Vihtavuori area of Laukaa in Central Finland. Earlier evacuated from the area, local residents looked set to be able to return to their homes around 10 pm on Wednesday, after it was announced that the risk of a massive explosion had been eliminated.

 

An as of yet unidentified substance in an explosives waste container at the Forcit Vihtavuori explosives plant at Laukaa is believed to have caused a chemical reaction, posing a potential hazard at the facility that manufactures explosives used in mining and blasting. The container with explosives waste has been smouldering on plant premises since Tuesday evening.

 

Forcit customers delivered the explosives waste to the plant for disposal. According to Matti Vähäpassi, head of risk management at Forcit, the contents of such waste containers are not inspected in detail – rather, the company relies on their customers for detailed information on such waste.

 

A military bomb disposal robot was earlier brought in to investigate the smoking waste container unit, and cold water was pumped into the container throughout the day to cool it down. As of Wednesday evening, the procedure had succeeded in keeping down the temperature of the waste container and nearby containers. Later in the evening, the cooled down container was moved away from the other explosives waste containers, thereby eliminating the risk of a massive explosion.

 

Containers and warehouses at the site contain explosive equivalent to 150 tons of TNT.

 

Massive evacuation

 

The Vihtavuori residential area, which falls within the danger zone of a potential explosion, was emptied of inhabitants early Wednesday afternoon. Of the 2,100 people residing in the area, over 400 were evacuated by the authorities, while the rest had left the area on their own accord, were at work at time of evacuation, or were away on their summer holidays.

 

Both police and soldiers from the nearby Keuruu garrison aided in the evacuation.

 

Traffic was being restricted and several roads were been closed all Wednesday.

 

Although the the danger of a massive explosion was averted with the cooling and isolation of the smouldering container, rescue officials did not rule out the risk of a smaller-scale explosion. In the case of such a blast, this would be contained within the plant area and posed no risk to residents in the area.

 

Authorities said that evacuated Vihtavuori residents should be able to return to their homes by around 10 pm on Wednesday.

 

 

It's a forum rule anyway...  No threads that only link an article....

 

But yeah - saw that this morning.  Now VV Powder may become even more scarce....

Lmao! I know right

It's a forum rule anyway...

Delete the post then

Wait - the guy posts a link - ok I get that it's a forum rule - but hell it actually has SOMETHING to do with firearms and you nozzles jump all over him??

 

:girlwacko:

no, he only posted a link the first time.....then I asked for some content and then he posted it

 

it was just a unrecongizable link

i said please

I had no idea what Vhitavouri is until he posted the article. I don't just click random links, If it said something with some kind of recongnition in the link like fox, abc, blaze, etc... rather than a link full of random letters and dots and then a topic I might of been more inclined to click it rather then question it. I have had to many experiences with malicious sites and are slightly more cautious clicking links.  I ment no ill will to OP just asked for more detail, I have been corrected by other members and mods in the past like many others for not posting any content or comment with a post.

+1, clicking on random links is always a bad idea!

Odds are that a long time forum member who puts up a link a something is more than likely going to be firearms related in some capacity. Sorry we all can't be perfect.

So who wants to buy 12lbs of VVn320? Asking $1200. Will deliver.
