PB Clermont Evacuation And Clearing Underway. Ammunition Industry Ominously Silent
#4
Nitroglycerine is a primary ingredient in high-energy, smokeless powders. Fires and explosions at ammunition manufacturing plants happen every so often.

Lapua had a fire/explosion in 1976, killing 40 workers. My mom is from that specific area in Finland. Lapua now has a permanent fire department as part of the Nammo facility, and I have seen it many times.

Lapua/Vihtavuori do not receive components from PB Clermont.
