Update (1825 EST): General Dynamics has confirmed a small fire has been extinguished with no injuries.
At approximately 1500 EST, initial reports indicated that a large fire had broken out at the Scranton Army Munitions Plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Eyewitnesses posted video and photos of the blacksmith shop at the plant billowing black smoke out of the stacks, much higher than usual.
The Scranton Army Ammunition Plant(SCAAP) is a United States Army Joint Munitions Command (JMC) facility that manufactures large-caliber metal projectiles and mortar projectile. It is operated by General Dynamics-Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS).

Of course it is why not a few more
Is the fire department possibly on the way?
Boy, those Chinese spy invaders are sure moving quickly aren’t they? We are under attack and we are doing nothing.
Send China Joe to go put it out, since he’s called “the scranton kid” anyway. He can put it out by covering it with all his Bull-$5#t.
The plant is one of the only ones in the U.S. making 155mm artillery shells.
Good thing there’s not much demand these days for 155mm ammunition...
Did anyone hear, “Aloha snackbar!” shouted?
Honestly the authorities had better release “whodunnit” or rumors will escalate.
so many modern day houses and apartments blow up sky high with fireballs. Phony excuse is “gas leak.” But one near me here was tracked down as a college student’s meth lab. Another one here....

Then the legal marijuana product place in Michigan that blew up with hours of heavy flames and metal shrapnel up to a mile away raining down.

Another state.
Police served warrant and then a blow up destroyed evidence.

Possibly, Zelensky did Nazi them coming.
Scranton?
BiXiden’s fault.
That’s not the only thing!
There’s no shortage of Blame BiXiden to go around [most of it IS true...].
I’m forced to agree with you.
“Scranton Prepares For Biden Visit” (he’s heading there tomorrow.)
Maybe he can read some lines to make him a hero.

[Currently, the Army ships steel from Ohio to two facilities in Pennsylvania, the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, and a sister facility in Wilkes-Barre. These two plants turn 2,000-pound steel rods into two-foot-tall artillery shells.
The shells are then transported to the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant, where they are filled with explosives and sealed. The propellent and charges for the rounds are mostly produced at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant in Virginia and the Holston Army Ammunition Plant in Tennessee.]
Thanks Zhang, good to know!
I don’t know when the three new Texas production lines will be in production but they are supposed to use new technology to make 155 shells.
“that will utilize free-flow forming technology, which delivers flexible, cost-effective and precise metal forming with higher machine speeds and more accurate, uniform products.”
Interesting, but a lot of supply chaining.
Is this near their “Biden Expressway?”
Just drove past there yesterday on I-81.
Meat processing plants, egg farms, energy plants, ammo plants. An amateur investigator would put the dots together, but they want FISA!
