CHARLOTTE, N.C. — People in one of North Carolina’s largest cities are being warned to wear a mask in public, as the noxious plume from a fertilizer plant fire continues to spread.
Video shared on Facebook shows the smoke — which smells like “spent fireworks” — is thick enough to limit visibility on roads in some parts of Winston-Salem.
“Air quality bad today! Recommend that you wear a mask! Stay Safe!” the city posted Wednesday, Feb. 2.
