Odor Prompts Haz Mat Team Response, Evacuations
KSAL Staff - Wed 12:41 PM 10/03/2012
There have not been any reports of injuries or transports to the hospital.
A strange odor in a North Salina neighborhood prompts a response by the Salina Fire Department Hazardous Material Team.
According to the department, Tuesday evening at about 7 crews responded to 1227 N. 7th street for a strange odor /
possible gas leak in the area call. Crews were unable to find the source of the leak / odor.
Several residents were evacuated as a precautionary measure and crews from Kansas Gas Services responded to the location and worked throughout the night however, they were also unable to find the source.
Wednesday morning crews again responded to the same area, prompted by reports of residents in the area complaining headaches. The fire department haz-mat team conducted a house by house search to find the source, the search and monitoring resulted in finding a 55 gallon drum of an unknown substance in a shed.
The haz-mat tteam is packaging the 55 gallon drum in a separate over-pack drum to isolate the container. A KDHE response team has been requested to retrieve the container for further analysis.
Several residents including the Martin Luther King Jr. Child Care Center have been evacuated. There have not been any reports of injuries or transports to the hospital.

Salina Fire Department. I am pretty sure we don't have a Fiored Department. Be nice to hear what is in the container. People may have some health issues later on if it was enough to make them feel sick throughout the neighborhood.

cjsmessage, YOU are NOT commenting on the article either, but putting gas59 down because you think he is putting others down. Gas59 can defend himself/herself. What do you think about the poorly written article?

cjsmessage you must be new, a few people get on here just to be ignorant and start drama because they have no lives. You can join them or ignore them, other than that there is nothing you can do because they aren't hurting anyone and acknowledging them just makes it worse. Welcome to KSALlink, I hope you enjoy your stay.

"You got the one censored who then replies as someone else and changes id's at will always attacking and bullying others."... Kind of like you, iamgonnagetu, before I decided to join this forum, I watched you over and over and over attacking others. Why didn't you get kicked off? Are you butt-nosing Pitt's butt-pit?
