The substance that caught fire last Friday is essentially the material that coats automotive glass and prevents it from shattering.
Called polyvinyl butyral, the material is essentially stripped away from automotive glass recycled at the plant and stored in a large pile at Dlubak Glass, located at 1052 Industry Drive.
The material is “not known to contain toxic chemicals,” according to a material safety data sheet released by one of the product’s manufacturers, Dupont, in 2010.
It does, however, release a number of chemicals when burned.

The following people were indicted April 16 by the Anderson County Grand Jury.

Tina Sallee, 37, 107 Dogwood #2, Lawrenceburg, was indicted for tampering with physical evidence, a Class D felony; two counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, a Class A misdemeanor; second-degree possession of a controlled substance-hydrocodone, a Class A misdemeanor; possession of drug paraphernalia, a Class A misdemeanor; and possession of mariguana, a Class B misdemeanor.
The indictment stems from a June 28, 2012, incident.

An Anderson County high school student has been arrested for allegedly making threats against the Anderson County High School, according to news releases from Superintendent Sheila Mitchell and the sheriff’s office.
According to the sheriff’s office, a juvenile has been taken into custody on charges of second-degree terroristic threatening and intimidating a participant in the legal process.
Mitchell’s news release states that high school administration has been working with police to investigate alleged threats made by multiple students.
