March 12, 200719 yr just basicly fueloil That's just what they're telling you... :thumbsup: Heh. Maybe they are just worried about smoke inhalation issues then.
March 12, 200719 yr Must have been some nasty stuff in that tanker for them to evac that many people... Not a good sign... :thumbsup: no it is a precautionary to evacuate half a mile around a fuel tanker fire.. imagine putting a deoderant can on a fire.... this is a 22thousand gallon version of that.. if it gets hot enough and goes up itll go off like a rocket and or explode.. and if it does pop itll take down a good % of everything within about a quater mile
