Hazlehurst, GA — There was a fire at the Hazlehurst Wood Pellets factory earlier this month (Tuesday, May 4, 2015) that left at least two workers hospitalized with burn injuries. Their names were not released, but it appears that they sustained burns on their upper torsos, arms, and hands.
The fire started that Tuesday in the area of the plant where the wood is heated up to make the wood pellets. Though authorities aren’t sure exactly what went wrong, they said that a fire broke out that afternoon and injured two employees.
That was at the beginning of this month. Right now, it doesn’t appear that any updates have been released about what caused the fire. However, there was apparently a fire in 2014 at the Halzehurst Wood Pellets factory that started in the same area, the lumberyard.
