Yes, two summers ago our neighbours who haul and apparently store toxic chemical has one of their tanks heat up to flash point. By the time it was noticed it
was almost ready to blow. The chemical stored in it was an oxygen scavenger and would have killed everything within a mile radius. I got the phone call at
work, had to race home and try to find a place for 18 horses, including two stallions, five foals and moms and various other ages of horses. We were posted on
a three minute warning. I was fortunate to find a place that was not too far away that could take all my horses and even seperate them the way they had been at
home. It was a frightening experience hauling horses and passing fire trucks, water trucks, ambulances, dangerous good teams and many other disaster personel
and not knowing if things were going to blow up at any minute. Needless to say the neighbours didn't own up to any responsibility or compensate us for any
thing they put us through. My relationship with them cooled considerably after that.

Holy %+%# HnH what a horrible situation!! I can't imagine.. I am worried about fire as the neighbor did start one that almost took his own house down but it was right adjacent to our property line.. My trailer was used for an evacuation of a stable as there was a wild fire that threatened it.. Lucky it never reached the stable.. |
