🚨🔥 Early Wednesday morning, a fire broke out at a distributor of industrial and technical chemicals, raising serious safety concerns for first responders and the community. While chemicals like phosphoric acid, sodium hydroxide, and sodium hypochlorite are not combustible on their own, they can create dangerous situations when exposed to heat or mixed with other materials. 👷♂️💧 Phosphoric acid can enhance the combustion of surrounding materials, sodium hydroxide can heat up in water and ignite other substances, and sodium hypochlorite can produce flammable gases when in contact with certain metals. These reactions can complicate firefighting efforts and pose risks to both firefighters and nearby residents. 🚒💨 Firefighters are working diligently to contain the blaze and ensure public safety. At one point, it was thought to be out, but reignited later. While it is currently unknown what started the blaze, it's a stark reminder of the importance of proper handling and storage of industrial chemicals. Let's prioritize safety and awareness in our communities! https://hubs.li/Q02PzC640 Follow the link above for updates as this situation develops, and let’s keep our first responders in our thoughts.🙏 👨🚒 #FireSafety #ChemicalSafety #CommunityAwareness #FirstResponders #FirstResponderDay #FirstResponderAppreciationMonth #FirefighterAppreciationMonth

Farewell Friday: 👋 Although this ChemLoc© building isn't fire-rated, its careful positioning—over 30 feet from people and other structures—provides a safe environment. It has been thoughtfully engineered with two separate rooms for waste management, equipped with mechanical ventilation, explosion-proof LED lighting, and a containment sump with a capacity of 370 gallons. This leading retailer places a high priority on safety, and we are are thankful for the opportunity to collaborate with them at multiple locations across the country. #chemicalstoragebuilding #hazmatstoragebuilding #flammablechemicalstorage #explosionrisks #hazmatstorage #chemicalstorage #hazmatbuilding #customchemicalstorage #chemicalsafety #prefabricatedportablestructures #flammablechemicalstorage #flammableliquidstorage #codecompliance #madeinUSA #NFPA30 #NFPA

The @NFPA and @CampusFireSafety (CCFS) collaborate on the annual Campus Fire Safety Month each September. While cooking remains a leading cause of fires in campus housing, there is growing concern on college campuses about the increasing number of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries. https://hubs.li/Q02MgPWM0 #firesafety #backtoschool #lithiumbatterysafety #cookingfires #nfpa

Lithium Battery Risks are Real. It is important to store and transport them safely. An effective way to do that is with a DynaLocLTC™. Standing for 'Lithium Transport & Container" it is successful in containing the violent explosions, high-heat fires, and filtering the toxic smoke and gas that make lithium battery events so uniquely catastrophic. If you suspect a battery is damaged, do not leave it inside, and do NOT put it on a charger. Isolate it immediately - in a DynaLocLTC™.

Did you hear the one about the dog in Tulsa, OK who started a house fire by chewing on a lithium battery? It's no joke. It's a scary reminder of the potential dangers our furry friends can unknowingly cause. 🐕🌭🐱 VIDEO https://hubs.li/Q02K0RNF0 To avoid this type of situation, it's important to always keep lithium-ion batteries and chargers out of reach of pets. Store them in safe, secure cabinets or high shelves where curious noses and paws can't reach. Additionally, providing plenty of chew toys and mental stimulation for your dog can help redirect their attention away from potentially harmful objects. Let's keep our homes safe for both our pets and ourselves by being proactive and mindful of potential hazards.
