TOXIC TRAIN SAFETY - A First Responders Petition caused The Chlorine Institute to conduct a five-month study comparing the safety of secondary containment to the chlorine “C”-Kit for chlorine tank cars. The study proved secondary containment to be, by far, the safest technology for containing and preventing releases of chlorine gas. To see secondary containment - search “CHLORTANKER.”

HazMat Experts and Firefighters petition Dow Chemical and Union Pacific for safe rail tank cars transporting gas chlorine. Secondary containment is a necessary improvement that must be implemented. See--PETITION C KIT for First Responders Comments.

Call Mayor Barnes and your City Commissioners and tell them you are NOT willing to sacrifice the safety of your family or YOUR firefighters!! Jim Barnes 859.661.6000; Donna Baird 859.582.6950; Robert Blythe 859.661.0289; Richard Thomas 859.248.4497 City hall 623-1000

Richmond Mayor is punishing the Fire Dept by discussing laying off firefighters for their own mistake. If Richmond would have paid the proper overtime then the city would not be in this situation. The lawsuit was not even started by Richmond Firefighters but the city is blaming them. I hope they will be ready to go into the hole for another lawsuit for retaliation.
