Emergency Containment Solutions And Disaster Support For A Liquid Storage Facility

During emergencies, swift responses are critical regardless of the time or day. On October 15th, at 2 PM, a liquid storage facility located in Crocket, CA, caught fire, causing two 250,000-gallon ethanol storage tanks to explode. This triggered a massive blaze that generated thick black smoke visible across the Bay Area, prompting the closure of neighboring Interstate 80 and forcing communities to seek shelter. The top priority for responders was to contain the fire and reduce the risk of:

• Hazardous air quality
• Spreading of fire to adjacent storage tanks
