***INCIDENT UPDATE*** Note: Videos include AI-generated captions. While efforts have been made to ensure accuracy, some transcription errors may occur.

If you're only going to do video updates every 8-12 hours, someone needs to be handling written updates on X every hour-two hours, tops. I have the greatest respect for the dangerous job you're doing, and I sincerely hope for the safety of every one of your team, but your public information office/officer is seriously failing his or her job.

I'm working on a website to centralize all resources for people. Please share with your loved ones:

The lack of thorough updates to the public, particularly to those who are directly affected, is ridiculous and embarrassing.

@lookner Why use AI to generate captions that may include errors on public service announcements when people exists that could just translate it?

An all night operation just to say next morning that there's another crack and you're still thinking outside the box for a third option

So your update is — we’re gonna check the pressure later tonight and then give an ACTUAL update like 10 hours later in the morning?? Meanwhile it can blow up at any moment??! 😭😭😭 bro I’m not sleeping tonight

@alexdatig Let’s pray that this mission works so that the people can go home. 🙏🏻

The lack of continuous updates is unacceptable. If someone steals a car and there is a police chase, the news and law enforcement will cover it ad nauseam until it is over. Even a small brush fire will get more coverage and updates than this.

May god protect you guys. Thank you so much for risking your lives for ours.

We will be praying for your safety, protection from harm and guidance. May this operation run as planned. Thank you for everything you do. Not all heroes wear capes.

Shut down that propane facility 150 yards over. The boats and RVs stretching 25 blocks have gasoline and propane tanks. This will cause a chain reaction. Propane will cause a blast much worse than the methyl polyethylene in the tank. Multiple, or even hundreds of blasts.

May God protect you in this work tonight.

What an absolute shit show of a department

A heartfelt thank you to OCFA for your courageous, life-risking efforts to keep our community safe during this crisis. Coming from someone who’s been evacuated since Friday, we are incredibly grateful for your quick response, dedication, and commitment to protecting everyone.

Filmed during the afternoon. Posted in the evening. Come on. The delay of information is outrageous and unacceptable.

WHERE ARE THE BULLET POINTS WHY IS EVERY UPDATE A 4 MINUTE VIDEO

Once again, not saying anything with any depth whatsoever. Just a standardized diffuse statement.

@alexdatig Nobody at the agency can transcribe what he said and type it in the message. Gotta have AI do it. What is BLEVE?

Sir have you been drinking?

Prayers for the safety of your team ❤️

@lookner This guy sound drunk! Wtf is going on?

Real-time tank temperature estimate can be found at :

WOW. Using AI to spread information. THIS IS PATHETIC.

@OC_Scanner

Question: is there a PIO being paid from tax dollars, or not? I can understand if there is no PIO, but if there is one, what is going on?

Can you include written updates?

Good luck tonight. Hope all goes well.

How does that work then? You think the pressure is being relieved by the single crack, but there is no leak? That doesn't make sense.

Can they use ice to cool it?

👋 QUESTION: Will all of OC receive a Text Alert if this thing blows up?

@jesuscebs This is so bad , wtf are we doing?

Are we really going to trust AI with an incident as significant as this? Count me out on any further updates from (AI) OCFA. I won’t know what to believe!

PLEASE SEND OUT TEXT ALERTS TO ALL OC RESIDENTS immediately in case of explosion so that we may seal up our homes, as many of us risk fallout through wind changes, including to the south! Thank you heroes for attempting to literally diffuse this. Good luck to you heroes! 🍀🙏🧡

@ChipYost Damn, I’m up Beach Blvd. Probably gonna die, huh?

Thank you for the update! Best of luck to everyone involved. I know this is extremely dangerous for the fire fighters and those working on this. I hope it is successful!
