Fire dispatch to command. Go for operations. Operations command, we have approximately 100 employees from Toledo, Tool and Dye who have evacuated the building because it does not close, and they're unable to leave. They're in their cars at the location. They're looking for advice as to what to do. All right, what's the location of Toledo, Moldy and Dye? Stand by, command. I'll give you the exact location in just a second. Also, can you figure out why they cannot evacuate? We'll be right back.

Command, we can try. A lot of the people are reporting on inability to see in the heavy fog slash smoke, but if you want us to try, we can see if they can move somewhere else. If we could, if there's a way to get them to the corner of Benor and Massacre, that would be great. We'll see what we can do, command. Keep you advised. Don't worry about it. I just wanted to make sure if we can do everything to keep our people safe. Copy that, 2355.

101. 101, go ahead. I'm actually going to go to command post, but we might have to block off at like Detroit and Phillips area. Like, it's totally, you can't see going down Detroit at all. It's like pitch black. You can't see any cars. Copy that. 11 on scene. 211.

Just googled it..methyl acrylate has a Flashback Risk: Heavy vapor clouds can drift along the ground to distant sparks or flames and ignite backward to the source…that sounds crazy
