Sugar refinery fires extinguished

The fires are out at the site of the exploded sugar refinery in Port Wentworth near Savannah. Firefighters yesterday put-out the final stubborn flames, this setting the stage for further investigation to move ahead into how the explosion happened eight days ago. Eight people are confirmed dead, including one of the burn victims who died in an Augusta hospital yesterday morning. One worker remains missing at the refinery site. 16 remain in the Augusta hospital being treated for their injuries.
