An Orange County Fire Authority spokesperson on Monday qualified an earlier update provided by officials, noting that although the threat of a massive explosion has been ruled out at GKN Aerospace in Garden Grove, the potential exists that a smaller blast could occur at the site of the chemical incident. While the risk of a worst-case scenario BLEVE, or Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion, has been "eliminated," according to OCFA Interim Chief TJ McGovern, an agency spokesperson said the remaining flammable material in the tank still has the potential to burn and ignite.

What started out as a chemical leak has now escalated into an emergency officials say could end in a massive explosion. Fire crews in Orange County, California, spent hours trying to stabilize a 34,000-gallon tank containing volatile chemicals before announcing that the tank “cannot be secured or mitigated.” Officials say the situation has narrowed to two possibilities: a catastrophic spill of toxic chemicals or a thermal runaway event capable of igniting neighboring tanks. Police are urging residents to leave evacuation zones immediately as emergency shelters open for displaced families.

🇺🇸 A chemical tank in suburban Los Angeles spent five days on the verge of exploding and taking tens of thousands of people with it. The crisis is over. Not because firefighters solved it, but because the tank cracked on its own and released the pressure before it could blow. Tens of thousands are still under evacuation orders. The chemical is still there. They just got lucky. Source: Reuters
