BREAKING: A chemical leak at a rail yard north of Perris has forced evacuation orders for more than 100 homes and a full closure of the 215 Freeway.
Riverside County Fire Department crews and a hazardous material team reported to the scene where they remained through Friday morning.
Due to the extremely hot nature of the tank, which has been monitored via drone, crews have yet to approach the tank. Traditionally stored at cooler temperatures, the material in the tank has reached temperatures over 300 degrees as of Friday."it could get worse before it gets better," said ADD HIS NAME at the press conference Friday morning."Due to the heat building in the car, it builds pressure and it could have a release. Meaning some sort of violent explosion.
Authorities hoped that a nearly 20 degree drop overnight meant that the chemical reaction was beginning to solidify, though due to the unfamiliarity with such a scenario could not confirm if the process was actually taking place. As a result, an evacuation order was issued for more than 150 residences within a half mile radius of the site of the leak, affecting homes north of Markham Street, east of Donna Lane, south of Nandina Avenue and west of Patterson Avenue.
