Officials initially cleared a 150-foot perimeter around the drum, but that circle was later reduced to 5 feet.

Luv it.

“but that circle was later reduced to 5 feet. “

A company I worked for trained a hazardous material response team. I had a bit of trepidation about this as they had no materials stronger than what I had in my kitchen. A woman had an unexpected period and spilled a couple of drops of blood on the floor. Suddenly there was a portable flashing light, yellow cones, Do-not-cross yellow and black tape and men wearing ultra strength gloves. The wipes they used were placed in hazardous material containers and the trash went to a hazardous waste handler. The total cost of this response was probably $2,000. I would have used some toilet paper and flushed it. The lady was so embarrassed that she left the company as soon as she could find another job. (Hard to establish the cost of losing all that experience.)
