Sulfur Mound Fire

submitted by b4rringt0n

6 years 6 months 1 week ago

A Worland Fire Protection Unit captures an incredible and surreal video showing a sulfur-mound fire with fire tornadoes caused by burning sulfur and sulfur dioxide in Worland, Wyoming.

The burning sulfur creates a hazardous sulfur gas, which is why the firefighter filming is wearing a protective breathing mask.

Wow. What do you even do? Pour sand on it?

Take off and nuke the entire site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

Clearly Satan made them film this vertically, because it would have made much more sense to film it horizontally based on the spread out nature of the fire.

If there were fewer environmental regulations this sulfur could have been safely dumped straight into the local water supply and this fire would have never happened. Drain the swamp!

But vertically, we could see the whole scope of the fire twisters.

The usual recourse is water fog (vs water stream that just tends to raise more dust and spread more fire). If it's a large mound of extracted sulphur from e.g. sour gas fields, we used to just push more sulphur on top if the fire and that'd snuff it out.
