Haz mat incident in Boone County, 11-12-22
This message comes from Tim Olk, and it’s regarding an incident that unfolded earlier today. The Boone County Fire District 2 responded to a report of an anhydrous ammonia leak originating from two storage tanks located on a farm near the intersection of Garden Prairie and Marengo Road.
The situation is currently under control, but there's still some cleanup and monitoring needed to ensure everything is safe. For those unfamiliar with anhydrous ammonia, it's a chemical commonly used in agriculture as fertilizer, but it can be hazardous if not handled properly due to its corrosive nature and potential health risks.
Here are some images taken by Tim Olk during the event. They give a good perspective on how the situation was managed:
Additionally, here’s a short video clip captured during the response efforts:
As you can see from the photos and the video, the firefighters were highly professional in their approach. They set up barriers, evacuated the immediate area, and worked diligently to neutralize the threat. It's always reassuring to witness such coordinated efforts in emergency situations.
While the incident has been contained, local authorities are advising residents in nearby areas to remain cautious and follow any further instructions they may issue. Anhydrous ammonia leaks can sometimes lead to respiratory issues or skin burns if people are exposed, so vigilance is key.
If anyone has any specific questions about the incident or safety measures, feel free to reach out. I’ll make sure to update everyone once more details become available.
Stay safe!
