The Tonawanda site has very little, if any, chemical storage on site. Maybe a little for R&D to play with, but that’s about it. It’s a non-production facility. Engineering, purchasing, trucking coordination, etc.

But yeah, I think there’s a policy for at least Praxair or maybe all the industry in the area that everyone has to repond. Better safe than sorry.

I wonder what the proper response is for a fire near a liquid tank… For me it’s run like hell, but I don’t know if firemen are allowed to fight it our just try and keep the area clear. I can’t even imagine the energy that would be released by a hydrogen tank igniting or a fire fueled by liquid oxygen. :ohnoes:
