get you guys want to so i guess just walk us through the day and yeah well first of all thanks for even considering bringing us what it was definitely a hot day you know i definitely believe that teamwork is is the key here and the reason why everything went as smooth as it did and again we have a big giant hole in halo over the town of fire peron and it was definitely had a lot of strong potentials of going bad but it all went well for us in the long run still have an environmental situation that we're dealing with now explain all that but for those that are not clearly aware what happened sunday morning a little bit before five a m we had a tanker jet fuel eleven eleven thousand gallons of jet fuel had rolled his truck coming down the ninety five south in the role that going off the four ninety five self ramp and i do have some pictures here to explain it to commend all of those officers for their their quick thinking and their quick action at the beginning of this call because i think that that has a lot of the reasons why we didn't have a fire condition or explosion condition is because of the actions that they took environment right away they called for a second alarm and what that does is it brings in more resources from the surrounding mutual aid and communities to get us the firefighters and in the equipment that we need to deal with that type of incident along with they out immediately call for the hazmat teams when the hazmat teams got there they realized they needed more more sis its assistance and we knew that we needed more systems to support the hazmat teams this ended up going by the end of the day to a third alarm and a tier three response by the hazmat teams in the commonwealth of massachusetts that means we basically had three hazmat teams there working together to try to mitigate and contain and control this don't know where the other team comes from but it's all the surrounding districts that that surround in this area that the also special call just prior to my arrival for t f green's airport to send their crash fired  it's a c f r it's crash fire rescue vehicle that's one of the via the green vehicle that's up there that carries a lot of from and has a capability of dealing with highly flammable products jet fuel and they were outstanding they took them like twenty to twenty five minutes to get there on scene it was probably twenty minutes into it that i arrived in and took command in basically my job at that point is just managing resources making sure that everybody is working together and the  operations being at that time captain buckley their needs were met along with the hazmat teams were met and state police all agencies that that showed up great we went through eight hundred gallons of fall throughout that whole day the biggest you know we went through booms pad speedy dry containing tied to control direction of where the the product was flowing we had over fifteen communities from the surrounding area there along with the three hazmat teams and an additional eleven other agencies from mass highway state police department of environmental protection e p a all of them foxboro water foxborough health mansfield water we gathered all of these resources and agencies to support the operations it was extremely high as we all know and very humid we only had one minor injury not counting the driver the driver  when we got there we had a very large wound to his chest and a large contusion to his head so we treated as a trauma case in shipped him off to the rhode island trauma center but when one firefighter was you know overcome by the heat and in the humidity we tried our best to make sure we rotated the all the first responders and firefighters through so that we wouldn't have that happen and we were very fortunate it was only one mil case and he was treated and released the bad things are is we have an environmental situation and if you don't mind i'll point out that tanker landed right on top of  and that can't be left in the actual jet fuel and brought it into a retention area on this side of ninety five and we were able to get in there with our cr residents i i believe they they are but i don't know how far it goes but i did get one phone call from one resident i did leave a message letting them know that they were safe in their their homes were safe and their drinking water the biggest thing at this point is the actual transporter see white and signs has been a very proper of it helping us we do have state our ses that allow us to to build for this event to capture our funds that we use on any of the expendables and any of the overtime that was created i've been working send sunday into you can for this day to capture all the one k the massachusetts state law that allows us to bill the speller for has materials with that i want you to keep your billing right now we've broken it up into two different categories it was thirteen thousand dollars and fall from fund the phone bank that it's not counting all of the state assets in the hazmat team and those they have a different approach on the building but again the owner of the company has been you know he answered every single one of my phone calls he's been very proper to and working well with us so far so i guess the thing is is that we were very very fortunate i think that the all of the personnel that work that day i'm happy i owe them a big policy i forgot to even notify them until pauline clifford and i were walking through it yesterday morning and she make contact with them so that now she's in contact with them on this  whole cleanup effort and i to be quite honest i owe them apology for forgave for getting them on sunday but it was a little had thick and trying to recall every you know every agency that i needed to have their attention to read yeah i actually are just a smidgen on that side of that of that retention area is what i what it looks like in the woods but it's all actually in that one area as of yesterday morning they're already collected forty eight hundred gallons of the product through the vacuum systems and in the process the environmental cleanup company does nothing to the west of the interchange no parking learning as far as i know not at this point but the great thing is is that they are the environmental cleanup company is is working great with d d p and they're already submitting getting their reports back to the health department polly clifford and i do believe they're also keeping the water department involved just so that we have it on file and we know exactly what the process and procedures are going to be the public should be aware that that four ninety five south exit will be closed some to port portions of this cleanup  we're fortunate we have four of our members of foxboro fire that are part of the hazmat team we did have a hazmat drill in the town not too long ago but again with the budget be in the way it was i wasn't able to send anybody we need to do more training on it but i guys were were incredible they're quick actions and knowing that they had to use the phone you know using engine twenty two because it has a lot better form capability these are all things that we planned for and it came together they they go right with the their initial training in in a make thing you know they mitigate the problem right away and then the biggest thing is that people want to know why do you so much fun  use more from the front blanket after a while will start to deteriorate and then as before and that what's that's doing is it's blanking the the jet fuel fuel from from the fumes getting out and reaching an initial source  so they basically have to keep applying form blankets so that we can keep that vapor trapped when we first got there they could get a cab with small things guys immediately swer foam in that area and disconnecting the batteries these are actions of that they've learned from their training but we are trained on it enough but we're still able to accomplish it and you know we're just very fortunate  to one of the things that the last year when we had the floods i raise the question with a cheer i don't even have any cell phone number and so in the event of an emergency and people call a selectman saying what's going on you know and so the chair was going to schedule something but we never did i'd like to ask that we schedule a session where we get an update first of all on one of the emergency plan sunday when something of this happens and not that we want to be on the site not that we need to be actively engaged but we need to have the information and without having what the plan is without having to call it cetera i makes it kind of difficult as linda said she would even have been able to go there so if we could just schedule a session and have the folks in charge of emergency preparedness committee just give us a brief update and if there's issues with training dollars or something we ought to know about that we ought to be aware that we are discussing e and yet this a this was in a snow emergency a flood i do the exact same thing it is very important that you folks have as much updated information so that when you can you know and if the folks from the town call you that you have some information you always get down there but we should also know where you feel we're adequately prepared and where we're not and so when you mention you didn't have a budget for training purposes in the event that your folks weren't trained which was not the case here but in the event that they weren't trained it's our responsibility as well so we have to make sure we understand the kinds of situations that we need to prepare for and we need to be aware of the funding that's necessary to one of the areas that we cut first when our budgets are tight and absolutely i've been an old training officer we should be doing more training we need to be doing more training but you also have to have balance in crime like this that money that i had we're always going to need to be training because again we're not having these type of rollovers every day and you know we're not going to have a plane crash in the town of foxborough every day we're not going to have a major incident or emergency at gillette stadium every day but we have to plan for it we have to train on it we have to discuss it and we try to do the best that we can with the financial situations that we're in we're just very fortunate had notified i doesn't matter what i'm saying is when they're thirty days old or sixty days old whatever point in time is a problem in your mind you i'd be coming in notifying us if you're looking for advice i think i have to imagine th how many details make up to eighty six hundred what if you have quite a few so it means if you don't pay within thirty days you know to me you don't get any further details or is that the one of the terms here when you get a bill for the detail you have to pay with and what would seem to me that if they don't pay on time they don't get another detail and it would seem to me that people like this that are starkly late should be a cash basis only you want to tell you get a paper up front this was his first issue i'd be more patient it is difficult on businesses today but this is not the first issue with these folks it's been a ritual issue and i think he has to understand that the town is not a bank not approving the changes for the license other kinds of things i do i'm very pro business but in this particular case he has not been very cooperative it's been a i'm going issue and god i'm concerned that we could end up losing money on this property as a result of actions that they could take a financial standpoint and we shouldn't and this is the second time that we if you remember right in the housing chains  it was the eleventh hour and after meeting missing minutes missing minutes to even get to that meeting what i'm concerned about is if we do this here which i have no money was being collected it was given to the police officer turning to the town might be a different story but to give him the license let him take the money in the not pay us certainly doesn't make sense i mean you take the water below eight thousand dollars the details eighty six hundred already paid the cost incurred of those and so whether it's the parking issue we can a force or not a force or is that look a license that's this particular issue but i would like to see you in the town finance director come forward to us with a plan that says going forward here's the policy i want you to approve regarding delinquencies on police details or fire details or in the house and i'd like you to ask legal partner to come with you and on and talk to us about how do we help protect them in any way because we have a good relationship with water and sewer to make sure that people are not paying their water bill you know i think i agree with you but in fairness to the process i think this is what made thousand dollar bill and how much money is rolling through that incredible job looking at deeds going back to the seventeen countries in their report is an amazing story to read it even goes through how the school districts became established in the  telephone long story short it was an inconclusive finding so you know we're not considering doing anything with that property but you know they just did a tremendous job of research on it and i want to thank them for that  also i have here i just put together the doors that i have so far from everybody and i had already handed out last year to schools with those purchases and so if you want to answer anything request for them to me right she did and they said they were going to do this and that and they just didn't do it so some of the stuff was i suppose should say they didn't do it but the next morning he was picking up stuff those people parked where there was norwood hospital even now with the partners of brigham and women's i very very high we work hand in hand together and we have a great programs going where we're trying to swap out a one for one for the medical supplies that we use at our medical college so that saves us money in a long time i've got again partnerships kosh airing it's always going to be the focus point that we look at when running any of these
