IT WAS DARK & APPARENTLY THE DRIVER DID NOT SEE THE GAS METER & IT'S RELATED PLUMBING WHICH WAS LOCATED NEXT TO THE BAY DOOR HE WAS BACKING UP TO. UNAWARE TO HIM THE BACK OF THE TRAILER HAD BUMPED THE NATURAL GAS PLUMBING THAT EXTENDED PAST THE PIPE BARRICADE THAT HAD BEEN ERECTED TO PROTECT THE METER. THIS ACTION CAUSED A 1" SUPPLY PIPE LOCATED JUST INSIDE THE BUILDING TO BREAK. WHEN THE OCCUPANTS ARRIVED TO OPEN THE WAREHOUSE, AT ABOUT 7:30 AM, THE ENIRE BUILDING WAS FILLED WITH NATURAL GAS. NORTHWEST NATURAL GAS & THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED. UPON THE ARRIVAL OF THIS WRITER, ON THE FIRST ARRIVING ENGINE, THE GAS COMPANY CREW WAS ALREADY ON THE SCENE & HAD STARTED SURVEYING THE BUILDING WITH THEIR EXPLOSION METER.

WE THEN ASSEMBLED SECOND ENTRY TEAM CONSISTING OF CAMPBELL AS TEAM LEADER, GASCOIGNE, AND KEN COOK OF PUBLIC WORKS. KEN WAS CHOSEN BECAUSE HE HAD EXPERIENCE USING THE A KIT DESIGNED TO STOP LEAKS IN 150 LB CHLORINE BOTTLES. ENTRY TEAM WAS DRESSED IN SPLASH SUITS WITH RUBBER GLOVES AND BOOTS TAPED SO THAT TEAM WOULD NOT BECOME CONTAMINATED. TEAM ALSO WAS EQUIPPED WITH ONE HOUR SCBA. THEIR OBJECTIVE TO STOP THE LEAK USING THE A KIT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO SLOW THE LEAK TO THE POINT THAT THE AREA WAS MORE SECURE. TWO REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE PENWALT CORP, WHICH DEALS WITH CHLORINE LEAKS, ARRIVED ON SCENE AT 1620 HRS AND REMOVED BOTTLE FROM BLDG. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT BOTTLE COULD BE REMOVED SAFELY FROM CORE AREA OF CITY TO ISOLATED AREA OF EAST END MOORING BASIN FOR FUTHER ATTEMPT TO CONTAIN LEAK. THE TEAM FROM PENWALT REMOVED THE A KIT PATCH FROM THE CYLINDER AND WERE SUCCESSFUL IN TURNING OFF THE VALVE TO STOP THE LEAK. ANTOHER LEAK WAS FOUND IN THE SIDE OF FYLINDER APPOX ONE FOOT FROM THE BOTTOM AND WAS PATCHED USING CLAMP FROM A KIT. SECOND LEAK WAS CAUSED FROM CORROSION OF THE METAL DUE TO THE LEAKING VALVE. IT APPEARED THAT VALVE HAD BEEN LEAKING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS JUDGING FROM THE CONDITION OF THE CYLINGER AND THE INTERIOR OF THE STORAGE ROOM. PENWALT TEAM MEMBERS LOADED PATCHED CYLINDER INTO THEIR VEHICLE AND TOOK IT BACK TO PORTLAND WITH THEM. THEY ALSO ADVISED OWNER OF L & C CHRISTIAN ACADEMY OF THE METHOD FOR CLEAN UP OF THE CONTAMINATED ROOM AND WHO TO CALL FOR REMOVAL OF THE THREE OTHER CYLINDERS IN STORAGE. |

AT ABOUT 1550 HRS ON MONDAY, JULY 3, 1989 AN INDIVIDUAL CAME TO THE FIRE STATION WITH A BAG OF FIREWORKS. HE EXPLAINED THAT HIS SON HAD PURCHASED THEM AT "BLACKJACK" IN WASHINGTON STATE. HE SAID HE WANTED TO BE SURE THEY WERE LEGAL FIREWORKS SO HE BROUGHT THEM IN TO SEE IF THE FIRE DEPT COULD DETERMINE THEIR STATUS. AFTER HE LEFT, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE STATION LT THAT A MAN HAD BROUGHT IN SOME FIREWORKS AND WOULD I COME AND SEE IF THEY WERE LEGAL OR NOT. I ARRIVED AT ABOUT 1615 HRS AND DETERMINED VISUALLY AND FROM THE LABELLING THAT THEY WERE MOST PROBABLY ILLEGAL IN OREGON. THE TERMS "FLAMING BALLS" AND "HELICOPTOR" TYPE WERE ON THE LABELS. THE THREE TYPES WERE: FLYING WHISTLE HELICOPTOR, SMALL BEE-HELLICOPTOR TYPE, AND MAGIC ROMAN CANDLE 10 BALLS ARTICLE NO 6515. THE FIREWORKS ARE IN EVIDENCE AT THE FIRE MARSHALS OFFICE AND WILL BE DISPOSED OF BY THE OREGON STATE POLICE BOMB SQUAD PERSONNEL AFTER MONDAY, JULY 10, 1989. |

AT THIS TIME, A CITIZEN STOPPED BY TO GET SOME FUEL AND NOTICED THE FUEL WAS PUMPING INTO THE AIR. HE NOTIFIED THE TRUCK DRIVER & HE RAN TO GO AND SHUT OFF THE FLOW. HE DID NOT TELL ANYONE TO NOTIFY 911, OR THE ATTENDANT OF THE SPILL. LATER THE STATION MANAGERS GIRLFRIEND STOPPED BY TO BUY SOME MILK & WAS TOLD ABOUT THE SPILL & WENT HOME TO TELL HIM ABOUT IT. HE WENT TO THE STATION TO SEE ABOUT IT & NOTIFIED THE FIRE DEPT ABOUT THE SPILL. WHEN THE FIRE DEPT ARRIVED ON THE SCENE WE SHUT DOWN THE STATION & BLOCKED OFF THE PARKING LOT TO ANY TRAFFIC. WE THEN CALLED THE COUNTY ROAD DEPT TO SEE IF WE COULD GET SOME SAND TO SPREAD OVER THE FUEL TO CONTAIN IT TO THE PARKING LOT. IT HAD BEEN RAINING QUITE HEAVILY AND WE HOPED TO CONTAIN THE SPILL TO THE LOT FOR FEAR IT MIGHT MAKE IT TO THE DRAINAGE DITCH OR THE CREEK. IN THE MORNING, THE COUNTY ROAD DEPT BROUGHT BY SOME ABSORBANT BLANKETS TO PICK UP THE REST OF THE SPILL. THE STATION WAS RE-OPENED AT THIS TIME. |

WE RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND LOCATED THE SOURCE APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES LATER. WE HAD BENTON COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE INVOLVED IN THE INVESTIGATION. WE PUT IN DIKES, UNDERFLOW DAMS, PADS AND BOOMS TO STOP THE FLOW BEFORE THE FUEL REACHED THE RIVER. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST OF THE SPILL HAD ALREADY GONE THROUGH THIS AREA. ON THE ADVISE OF DEQ, PETER FISHER, HE DETERMINED THAT THE SMALL AMOUNT OF THE SPILL AND THE DISTANCE THAT IT HAD ALREADY TRAVELED, THAT A BOOM ACROSS MARY'S RIVER WAS NOT NECESSARY. WE FOUND A LIGHT FILM OF OIL 2 MILES FROM THE SITE ON MARY'S RIVER AT 1230. NEXT DAY, I ADVISED DEQ THAT MOST OF THE SPILL WAS ALREADY DOWNSTREAM AND THE WATER IS MUDDY AND HIGH. THAT PADS AND BOOMS HAVE PICKED UP MOST OF THE REMAINING SPILL. THE NOZZLE ON THE TANK HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE COMPANY IS ENFORCING A NEW POLICY ON SPILLS AND EARLY NOTIFICATION. HAZMAT SPILL SUPPLIES WILL BE KEPT ON HAND AT THE COMPANY WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO USE THEM. CHARLES HALL HAS BEEN GOOD TO WORK WITH AND WILL HAVE PEOPLE CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE BOOMS AND PADS AND CHANGE THEM IF IT IS NECESSARY. HE HAS ALSO BEEN IN TOUCH WITH PUBLIC WORKS.

AN EMPLOYEE WORKING IN THE METALLUGIC LAB ADDED ACID TO A MIXTURE OF 90% ETHANOL/10% NITRIC ACID, THEN CAPPED THE 500 CC PLASTIC CONTAINER TIGHTLY, PLACING IT BACK ON THE CHEMICAL STORAGE SHELF. THE ADDED ACID ALLEGEDLY CAUSED AN EXOTHERMIC REACTION, BUILDING PRESSURE UNTIL THE CONTAINER BLEVE'D, THROWING PRODUCT & CONTAINER PIECES 20' ACROSS THE ROOM. THE RELEASE OF PRODUCT ALSO CAUSED CHEMICAL DETERIORATION TO THE SHELVING MATERIAL OF THE STORAGE RACKS. THE BLEVE KNOCKED OVER SEVERAL OTHER CHEMICAL CONTAINERS ON THE SHELF, CAUSING ANOTHER 500 CC PLASTIC BOTTLE OF 5% HYDRO-FLOURIC/30% NITRIC/65% H2O TO SHATTER ON THE FLOOR & RELEASE ITS PRODUCT. THE EMPLOYEE SUFFERED A SMALL ACID BURN ON ONE HAND, WAS TAKEN TO ST. VINCENT HOSPITAL BY POV BEFORE FIRE & RESCUE ARRIVED. FIREFIGHTERS USED LEVEL IV PROTECTION TO ENTER & REMOVE THE CONTAINERS; THE PRODUCT HAD EVAPORATED. SMOKE EJECTORS WERE THEN USED TO POSITIVELY PRESSURIZE THE BUILDING & VENTILATE THE AREA. THE SCENE WAS THEN RELEASED BACK TO OGI SAFETY PERSONNEL TO NEUTRALIZE & CLEAN UP THE RESIDUE LEFT ON THE FLOOR. WE DID ENCOUNTER MODERATE PROBLEMS AT INITIAL ENTRY. EMPLOYEES (WHO HAD NO RESPIRATION OR CLOTHING PROTECTION) WENT TO THE CONTAMINATED LAB SITE & THE LOADING DOCK WHERE WE CARRIED THE BROKEN CONTAINERS BEFORE FIREFIGHTERS COULD CONTROL THE SAFETY ZONE; THEY IGNORED OUR INITIAL REQUESTS TO LEAVE THE AREA & THEIR SAFETY COMMITTEE MEMBERS APPEARED TO BE UNAWARE OF PROPER PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE IN SAFEGUARDING THEMSELVES OR OTHERS. |

HE STATED THAT DURING THE HOT WEATHER, ONLY NON FLAMMABLE CASES ARE STORED IN THIS AREA, AN AREA EXPOSED TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT ALL DAY. HE FURTHER STATED THAT IT IS NOT UNCOMMON FOR A TANK TO RUPTURE ITS FUSIBLE LINK IN HIGH TEMPS. THE FORCE OF THE FUSIBLE LINK FAILING, IS ENOUGH TO CAUSE A CYLINDER TO FALL OVER. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE COMPRESSED AIR TANK VENTED, KNOCKING OVER THE OXYGEN TANK ALSO. |

INCIDENT 1290-92 HAZ-MAT INCIDENT 46151 SW PLUMLEE RD ON DECEMBER 1, 1992, WE RESPONDED TO 46151 SW PLUMLEE ROAD, MRS. MARJORIE SNYDER'S RESIDENCE, FOR A REPORTED LEAK OF FURNACE OIL IN THE HOME. UPON OUR ARRIVAL, THE ASSESSMENT OF THE SITUATION WAS THAT THERE WAS OIL INSIDE THE HOME, COVERING ABOUT 2/3 OF THE FAMILY ROOM FLOOR, WHICH WAS COVERED WITH TILE OVER CONCRETE. THE FLOOR WAS GRADED TO THE SOUTH, & MOST OF THE OIL HAD SEEPED UNDER THE THRESHOLD OF THE PATIO TYPE DOOR, TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOME & INTO THE GROUND/LAWN AREA. THE SITUATION WAS IN NEED OF VENTILATION TO KEEP THE FUMES FROM ENTERING THE HOME, & A BOX STYLE FAN WAS PLACED IN THE KITCHEN DOORWAY TO BLOW THE FUMES OUT OF THE PATIO DOOR OF THE ROOM INVOLVED. FURTHER, THE SITUATION WAS DETERMINED TO BE IN NEED OF PREVENTING MORE DAMAGE TO THE STRUCTURE & THE CONTENTS, & MANY AFFECTED ITEMS WERE TAKEN TO AN OUTSIDE COVERED AREA FOR STORAGE. NEXT WITH THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK ALREADY BEING SECURED PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL, THE YARD AREA OUTSIDE THE HOME WAS FLAGGED TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM TRACKING THE OIL & TO IDENTIFY WHERE THE OIL HAD POSSIBLEY GONE, AS IT WAS BOTH DARK & RAIN WAS FALLING HEAVILY. CLEANUP WAS ATTEMPTED OF THE REMAINING OIL, & MRS. SNYDER WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT HER INSURANCE AGENT, WHICH WAS MR. PHIL FECHTER OF STATE FARM. MR. FECHTER ADVISED MRS. SNYDER TO CALL SERVICE MASTER OF HILLSBORO FOR THE CLEAN UP, & SERVICE MASTER ADVISED THAT THEY COULD CLEAN UP THE MATERIAL UPON THEIR ARRIVAL. MRS. SNYDER WAS ADVISED OF THE ENTIRE SITUATION & THAT THE LAWN AREA WAS FLAGGED FOR FURTHER ACTION, DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF THE SPILL, & THAT WE WOULD RETURN ON DECEMBER 2, TO SEE THE SCENE IN THE DAYLIGHT. UPON ARRIVAL OF SERVICE MASTER, WE DISCUSSED THE SITUATION WITH THEM & RETURNED TO QUARTERS. |

THE COMPRESSORS WERE RESTART VERY QUICKLY BY EMPLYEES. THE AMMONIA GAS WAS BLOWN INTO PARTS OF THE BUILDING BY THE WIND. THE AMOUNT RELEASE WAS NOT TOO LARGE. BUILDING WAS EVACUATED BEFORE OUR ARRIVAL & EVERYONE WAS OUT. ON OUR ARRIVAL ALL EMPLOYEE WERE OUT & WE MEET WITH PLANT MANAGER & HE TOLD US WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE WANTED US TO MAKE A WALK THROUGH TO CHECK TO BE SURE EVERYONE WAS OUT. WE DID & NO ONE WAS IN THE BUILDINGS THE SEARCH WAS DONE IN FULL TURNOUTS & SCBA. SULFUR STICKS WERE USED BY EMPLOYEE IN SCBA'S TO CHECK BUILDING-ALL WAS OK. WE THEN DID A DOUBLE CHECK WITH SULFUR STICKS WITH PLANT EMPLOYEES - ALL WAS OK. EMPLOYEE RETURNED TO WORK AFTER PLANT MANAGER & FIRE DEPT OFFICER CONFERRED. PLANT WAS TURNED OVER TO PLANT MANAGER & HIS EMPLOYESS. COMMAND SUMMARY: UPON FIRE DEPT ARRIVAL, A DEFENSIVE STANCE WAS TAKEN & THE PLANT OFFICIAL WAS CONSULTED WITH. THE PLANT HAD BEEN EVACUATED, BUT IT WAS NOT KNOWN IF EVERYONE WAS OUT. AFTER FINDING THAT THE SITUATION WAS A VENT RELEASE AS OPPOSED TO A CONTINUOUS LEAK, VENTILATION & A PRIMARY SEARCH WAS EFFECTED. UPON GIVING US ALL CLEAR, PLANT OFFICIALS CHECKED THE AREA WITH SULFUR STICKS TO DETECT ANY RESIDUAL VAPOR & COMMENCED DECONTAMINATION AT THE AREA WHERE THE RELEASE/VENT HAD OCCURRED.

ON 1/2/94 AT APPROX 1030 AM, I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A PRIVATE CITIZEN SAID THAT THERE WAS WHAT LOOKED LIKE STEAM COMING FROM THE LARGE PROPANE TANKS LOCATED AT THE CHILOQUIN BIG GYM. I INVESTIGATED THE REPORT & DETERMINED THAT THIS WAS A LPG LEAK. THE SIZE OF THE VAPOR CLOUD WAS APPROX 100-200 SQ FT. THE CALLING PARTY ALSO STATED THAT AMERIGAS HAD JUST FILLED THE TANKS THAT MORNING. AFTER DETERMINING THAT THIS WAS AN EMERGENCY, I INFORMED 911 DISPATCH OF THE SITUATION. I EVACUATED THE GYM & WAITED FOR FIRE CREWS TO RESPOND. ONCE 5 CREWS ARRIVED, WE DETERMINED THAT THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE 10% VALVE. WE IMMEDIATELY STARTED A FOG PATTERN TO HOLD DOWN VAPORS AND CLOSED THE 10% VALVE CAP. WE REMAINED ON SCENE FOR APPROX 1 HR AFTER WE CLOSED THE 10% VALVE CAP. THE ESTIMATED GALLONS LOST CAME FROM JERRY ANSELME, MANAGER FOR AMERIGAS. THE TWO 1000 GAL LPG TANKS ARE LOCATED @ THE CHILOQUIN BIG GYM WHICH BELONGS TO KLAMATH COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, PART OF CHILOQUIN HIGH SCHOOL. |
