The study proved secondary containment to be, by far, the safest technology for containing and preventing releases of chlorine gas.

But it should be measured. The reaction on the much more read TKC was actually pretty measured. The cuts were not overly critiqued, except for the HazMat cut. With both major highways and railways cutting through the city, many felt this did endanger the public especially in light of the fact that no other metro department has made it part of their mission to do HazMat as thoroughly as KCFD.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for reading.<br /><br />The ObserverThe Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17696168395133075354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773175694027086382.post-46560132934198618322012-03-02T11:04:54.182-06:002012-03-02T11:04:54.182-06:00T.O>:
