So far firefighters have used one and a half million gallons of Firefighting Foam and water mixture to suppress the mixture. The usually dry containment areas that surround the tanks to prevent toxic runoff are holding a lot of materials from the tanks as well as the water and Firefighting Foam. We believe there is no risk of fire but out of an abundance of caution we are keeping foam blankets on both of those containment pods to mitigate any risk of further ignition.
