Fire at a Material Recycling Facility (credit - SUEZ)

The sprinklers: "Maybe if i wait long enough, the fire will burn itself out"

I’ve worked for suez as part of the maintenance team, usually it’s due too vapes that cause these fires, batteries too but mostly vapes

[@dusenkarotte007]

I didn't know that they were such a problem. How often do fires like this occur?

[@rhyshumphreys3280]

@@dusenkarotte007 usually you'll encounter small fires on a weekly bases, bigger scale fires are rare but they do occur it usually boils down too what materials they are shredding down too make the SRF

Those sprinklers didn't do much...

[@motorhomeman1949]

I work around a facility like this a lot. Kinda surprised we actually don't have fires more often with all the batteries and other flammable and explosive crap people try to recycle.

[@donurb9659]

That is one way to recycle.

Lithium ion batteries?

[@loschillyboyz9473]

I worked for waste management for 9 years. The main reason was batteries and second vapes
