A fire at Vulcan

A tragic fire injured a Vulcan Materials employee in South Carolina this week. The worker, Dennis Settlemyre of Sharon, S.C., was reported in critical condition late Wednesday. The fire -- at the quarry located at 10500 Old Nations Ford Road, south of Charlotte -- apparently happened near a conveyer belt. MSHA reported no violations at the plant, according Tom Carroll, manager of business development for Vulcan, who spoke to local reporters. Your comment?
