Hello everyone,

I have several things related to the Apex, NC fire now available at my blog today;

1.) ~ SPECIAL REPORT: Class-Action Lawsuit Filed Against EQ Co. for NC Chemical Fire (Contains a copy of the News Release linked here - Thank you Hal9000 & Howlin)

&

2.) ~ SPECIAL REPORT: Copy of Complaint Filed Against EQ Industrial Service in RE: Apex, NC Fire: I have posted online a link to download a .pdf copy of the complaint that was filed, as well as information I received by email from Cohen, Milsteing this morning.

CORRECTION: "Cohen, Milsteing" should read Cohen, Milstein - Apologies for the typo

The cleanup begins.

I just passed a couple of trucks on 64 between Siler City and Pittsboro that had trailers from a company that provides temporary storage of liquid hazardous wastes. They were Apex bound.

Thanks for the info.

I'll file it under MTINTK (More than I needed to know)

Company: No Chlorine Gas In Apex Chemical Fire

"Maris said the plant stores paints, oils, thinners, antifreeze, detergents and cleaners. He said some of the cleaning products or pool chemicals might have contained chlorine bleach, but he said he doesn't have the chemistry background to know whether bleach could release chlorine gas if ignited"



At 8:00 am outside my house, it smelled like a swimming pool outside...I live just south of the evacuation zone.
