An interesting or odd development in the West investigation

Yeah, if I remember right, about 30 minutes elapsed from the time the first VFD got the fire call till the big explosion took place.

IMO a VFD should not even be allowed to respond to a petrochemical or chemical facility. They do not have the training or equipped to handle the situations. The facility should have to supply the proper emergency support personnel equipment and training for potential hazards contained on site.
I bet our bunch doesn't even have a level A hazmat suit.
