EQ companies carry the highest level of liability insurance in the industry. This policy, underwritten by large third party insurers, offers $27 million in cumulative liability coverage.

Not going to be enough.

I believe they're bringing in other Hazmat teams from other cities.

You think?

He seemed a little perturbed that gawkers were sort of strolling around.

No rain tonight, per WRAL. Maybe near morning.

They immediately called in the Raleigh HAZMAT response team, plus everything the state has. That is one break, being so close to Raleigh.

So far, they're all sitting in their trucks with their lights flashing.

Somebody just went bankrupt; some of that is a HIGH DOLLAR area, mostly brand new neighborhoods and old big homes.

Chlorine is highly reactive with other stuff and is plenty lethal all on its own.

You are right and it is especially lethal and reactive in its gaseous state.

I reiterate what Lurker says, do not try to be hero.

Even LAFD with all its fancy equipment will sit until they go in there with the chemical recognition equipment.....and if there are multiple hits, the results are all screwy.

What? The town manager just said that they are using a fixed wing plane to LOOK at the fire so they can figure out what is going on.

All flights avoiding Apex, per RDU.

I wasn't sure where Apex was. Raleigh-Cary metro area. That's awful.
