  • Winston-Salem Fire Chief Trey Mayo couldn't hold back tears when talking about the dedication of his firefighters and the emotional toll of the decisions his team has had to make during the Winston Weaver fertilizer plant fire.
    “It was reassuring when the ammonium nitrate subject matter expert arrived yesterday…and I said, ‘Shoot me straight. If you’d have been here Monday night what would we have done different?’ And he said, ‘Absolutely nothing.’ He said - I get a little bit emotional about it - he said, ‘The decisions you all have made are exactly what we would have done if you had had me here the whole time.’ I’m confident in those decisions and proud of the work our folks have done this week," Mayo said during a Thursday afternoon press conference.

    It's the people who own the plant who are responsible for the pollution hazard that should pay. Putting people in harms way.
