After the fire at Marathon Petroleum, officials are still monitoring the air quality. But the question remains, why was a shelter-in-place not issued?
We now know what was burning in the fire at Marathon Petroleum, but now the question is why a shelter-in-place was not issued.Marathon Petroleum officials say they are still monitoring the air quality in the Texas City area after Monday's fire, in which we now know what was burning. According to Marathon Petroleum officials, hydrocarbon Naphtha is what was burning.
Dr. Khan-Mayberry says those smoke particles can be dangerous. But in a Facebook post on Monday, the Texas City Police Department announced a shelter-in-place for the surrounding community wasn't necessary. Normally, that decision comes from the Office of Emergency Management. They make the decision based on information they get from the company and also what they may see or experience when they have reps on site of the fire.
