Residents have been informed they can return to their homes after a fire involving several hazardous materials at the SMB Products chemical plant prompted an evacuation.
They need to build these plants far from residential and downtown properties. It's one thing for a regular fire to break out, part of life...but imagine noxious chemicals combusting and creating new forms of poison in the air. People down wind were certainly impacted...if vaping and second hand cigarette smoke are so dangerous, then this most certainly worse. We won't even know the impacts for years down the line, same with East Palestine's train derailment
This chem plant fire comes just a few months after a "device" was found under the 76 overpass... Why are there so many chem plant fires? Why are "devices" being found all over the U.S?
Please show a timelapse of the smoke path on a map! Are OH EPA and/or EPA testing results available to the public? If so, where? What are long term effects of burnt chemicals? How is it that AFD didn't have enough hazmat fighting materials?
