The Ugly Side of the Imperial Food Products Fire

The town of Hamlet, North Carolina came together in the aftermath of the Imperial food products tragedy. Funds were collected to pay outstanding utility bills for victims families and buy Christmas presents for the recently orphaned. The camaraderie was a beautiful thing to see but Custody battles broke out among the extended family of some of the orphaned children. With two of his processing facilities shut down, Emmett Rowe was bleeding money. OSHA had received an anonymous complaint that the facility suffered from the same fire safety issues as the one inHamlet.
