"McMurry on Friday said the blaze started in an area used as a "storage location" for "surplus construction materials," such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) piping, a material commonly used in construction. Gov. Nathan Deal suggested Thursday night that the PVC may have ignited for some reason".

Not if it's on fire!

this so why the hell should we keep them?  Their job is to prevent stuff like this, not to show up after the fact and look for the guy who had the matches.  FYI they also stored fertilizer and fuel under the bridge...a bomb makers basic tools.

Maybe it's part of the new Infrastructure plans?  

State EPA comes first and it is their responsibility to do State inspections to ensure Federal laws are obeyed.   Georgia is a RED Republican State, do not like, write or enforce any regulations.

States do have environmental regulatory agencies responsible for water quality, chemical usage on farms etc. That said, the federal EPA can and often does trumps state law and agencies. Why do you think everyone was is so adamant about EPA reform and pullback? And do you truly think federal agencies aren't responsible for construction etc on federal highways? I85 is federal you know? Maybe the state was involved. Regardless the Feds have the final say and ultimate control.  

of the wonderful work of the Fed EPA under the obama administration.  

State first.

You want to thank your Clown running the fraudulent administration in DC?   Go ahead.

They have no more initiatives or money.    Thank your Clown.

I can't quite picture PVC self igniting.

How can homeless people have access to construction materials, hazardous materials and other combustibles stored under a major interstate near a major city?    Was the place secured or anyone could walk in and start a fire.   The latter seems to be true.

Now that its arson, allegedly, how stupid do you feel? Shouldn't OSHA have prevented THAT?

What was/is the EPA's budget this year? Don't you have a plane to catch?

They probably live there. Homeless people often live under the highway, and panhandle by the exit ramps, they are a nuisance, and it is dangerous for them and the motorists too. I always thought it was a liberal problem, and now they have burned down the interstate.

How will he post 24/7 then?
