Officials said the chemical readings for benzene were at or below OSHA permissible exposure limits but above Shell's standards, requiring the shelter in place.
I heard DOW Firefighter/Safety guys had a big hand in the fire being put out. Congrats to all you firefighters and hopefully, the air quality concerns are short lived.
I saw on the news that the fire started again. It was quickly put out with additional foam.
I never saw what it actually took to put the fire out early this morning, but whatever master stream monitors that were brought in yesterday had impressive reach. Much better than some of the others.
Great job by all the responders.

We have top notch firemen and equipment at Dow, I'm not surprised.
Pineywoodkiller what division where you assigned to? I was on the North side the first two nights and then on the South side last night, just curious if we may have worked near each other at some point.

I hope I never have to deal with them, pipeline fires are bad.
The last time we were flaring a line down at the Seadrift site, we got the fire department real nervous. You could see the glow from the bridge coming into Port Lavaca......
