This is at a commercial/industrial site (Walmart DC), not a public retail gas station, which explains why it didn’t show up in my initial general searches. Liquid hydrogen is used in some industrial/fuel applications and can lead to intense fires/explosions if compromised. Local impact: Road closures in the area; stay clear if you’re nearby. Check Citizen, KRQE/KOB, Valencia County Fire, or NMSP for live updates, as the situation is developing.
