Introduction
During the latter months of 2008, with much assistance from Amerimulch, we conducted a survey to better explain the factors that lead to fires at mulch and compost production facilities. We also wanted to learn how to successfully deal with a fire when one does occur. In short, we are searching for the “Do’s and Don’ts” of fire prevention and response.
