Inventory Of Chemicals In Buildings A Must To Assist Firefighters

From Brian Lockhart, CT Post:

Like many of her neighbors along Seaview Avenue, Gladys Fernandez said she had no idea potentially explosive chemicals were stored in the old industrial buildings across the street.

“Nobody knew that was going on,” Hernandez said.

Then a five-alarm blaze literally blew the lid off what, intentionally or not, had been the Rowayton Trading Co.’s quiet operation as purveyors of pigments, fragrance oils, dyes and other materials to manufacturers worldwide.

  1. This was the point I made in the first article, firefighters were inhaling fuses and nobody knew what they were breathing and they had no idea what they were going into. Have the firefighters been tested to see if there was any harm done? Firefighters should have had the information as they were on their way to the fire, somebody dropped the ball big time on this fire.
