I saw it from the interstate.

I'm on gama radio listening to their communication with 911. Fire is contained. They are spraying water on the area to cool the equipment. They will be doing this for the foreseeable future. Fire is in their peroxide solutions unit.

Have the lawyers shown up yet?

Wonder if the chemical is an oxidizer

Being in that unit, there is a good chance that it is

Wtf does that mean?
Posted on 6/4/14 at 12:16 pm to Schmelly
That means it can supply it's own oxygen to fuel combustion.

Ok. First thought was something to do with it getting in the atmosphere. I'm maybe 2 miles away by air
