Important Quotes:
“Firemen were summoned to the scene with a pumper unit about 2a.m. after police said they saw the truck giving off steam or smoke and emitting a foul order. Firemen did not spray the tanker.”
“One firefighter had to be taken to the hospital and two police officers complained of suffering irritations and feeling nauseous after reportedly inhaling the gaseous emission.”
“Bruce Whitten, Chem-Dyne president, said late this morning that the company had been cleaning sludge from the tanker the past two days. ‘It’s a routine tank cleaning that’s done all the time,’ he said. ‘The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) was here yesterday and said it’s okay. The city just over-reacted.”
