플랑크 비전 시스템: 클린턴 타운십 창고에서 발생한 치명적인 화재 및 폭발, 재산 손실은 1억 4천 5백만 달러로 추산됨

On the night of January 5, 2025, at approximately 8:50 p.m., a catastrophic fire broke out at a warehouse located in Clinton Township, Michigan, shared by two businesses—Goo, a smoke shop, and Select Distributors, which sells novelty items, vape products, and various combustible materials. The fire, which led to a series of explosive blasts, shook nearby homes and sent debris flying as far as a mile away from the site.

This explosion resulted in the death of a 19-year-old man, who was struck by a flying canister while standing a quarter-mile away from the building. The force of the explosion was so intense that it was reported felt 15 miles away, in neighboring Troy, Michigan. One firefighter was also injured by debris that smashed through his vehicle’s windshield.

The warehouse, which housed significant quantities of hazardous materials like butane containers, nitrous oxide, lighter fluid, and over 100,000 vape pens containing lithium batteries, was almost completely destroyed. The explosions were caused by these volatile substances reacting to the flames. Due to the continuous explosions, firefighters faced immense challenges in controlling the blaze and accessing the building. The fire burned for an extended period, with explosions continuing for over 30 minutes.

Officials confirmed that air and water quality in the area remained safe for residents, and the authorities urged everyone to remain indoors with windows closed as a precaution. Despite the significant damage, which is estimated to be in the millions of dollars, emergency responders managed to stabilize the situation by Tuesday morning. The police and fire departments, along with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), began their investigation into the cause of the fire.

This tragic event highlights the critical importance of early fire detection, especially in warehouses that store combustible materials. Planck Vision Systems leads with superior thermal imaging tailored for diverse industries.
