Is there a reason you are not really showing where the chems are going… They have these things called maps… very useful

I think this should be called a chemical fog because the authorities keep saying that the fire was extinguished yesterday, there should have been a halon fire system installed after the last fire in 2004 because this is a failed repeat of that disaster, the run off from 2004 killed everything down stream across the location in the creeks in 2004 according to a resident that I talked to back then. This company is a threat to the community and the planet as long as it continues to operate with the fire system it currently has installed. They need to do more than report the failure and lousy status of these totally avoidable disasters!!!

I would like to think that YOU know more is going on here than we are being told.

@@stevekanyon5765 I lived through the 2004 event in the direct path of that gas release in the evacuation zone, I woke up in my home smelling the chlorine gas and looked out my back window to see a fog of the gas knocking birds out of the trees, No one came to my door or called me on the phone to ensure my safety, I know enough about these things to speak out.

Another "pat us on the back session" before the cameras and people, while not really providing any relevant information or revealing the truth of what is hapoening and why it so easily happened and got completely out of hand. Why does a company who makes "pool water treatment" products have a sprinkler system running water if the chemicals they maintain produce a deadly chemical reaction when it comes in contact with water? Makes ZERO sense to us common pleebs on the street, and causes suspicion as to whether we are being told anything close to the truth about what that plant was producing.

“Gwinnett county water is drawn from Lake Lanier’”😮
