| At
approximately 1220 hours on Wednesday, July 9, Alpha was dispatched to
the Centre County Solid Waste Authority transfer station for a reported
hazmat. Chief Clouser (500) requested Penn State Hazmat while enroute
to the scene and Company 8 (Pleasant Gap) to replace Alpha units who
were tied up with other calls. Shorty after his arrival, Chief Clouser
was notified by CCSWA personnel that the hazard appeared to be hydrated
lime and a smoldering fire in the main transfer building. This report
was based upon a large quantity of discarded cement and lime bags in
the trash load. After an assessment by PSU Hazmat, the incident was
determined to be a simple garbage fire which was then extinguished.
Units cleared at approximately 1400 hours. |
