Additional investigation by the owner has revealed 5 other tanks with a possible similar weld defect. As a precaution the owner has removed the product from these tanks. The bulk storage facility representatives indicated that a company formerly known as the Carolyn Equipment Company erected the tank. Resources available to The Cincinnati Fire Division are limited in dealing with the scope of this problem. Therefore, all companies with above ground storage tanks are urged to review tank erection records for their facilities.
Prompt review is needed to ensure environmental and public safety.
