For a second time in just a few months, Chickasha businessman Brannan Bordwine has suffered the loss of a manufacturing operation. And for a second time, the fire that destroyed his hand sanitizer storage operation near Ninnekah is under investigation by state and federal agencies.
He came under investigation in August when a fire destroyed his hand sanitizing manufacturing plant in Chickasha, a fire that resulted in a $6.6 million fine from the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality because he lacked the proper permits.
Now the DEQ is back on the scene of the Wednesday fire, along with the State Fire Marshal and the OSBI.
