This message comes from Tim Olk. He just sent over some details about an incident involving the Boone County Fire District 2. It seems there was a leak of anhydrous ammonia coming from two tanks located on a farm near the intersection of Garden Prairie and Marengo Road.
I’ve included the video footage he sent me so you can get a better understanding of what happened. The video is quite telling and really captures the scale of the situation. You can watch it here:
In addition to the video, Tim also shared several photos that he took himself. These images give a clear view of the scene and how the emergency services responded. Here’s one of them:

As you can see in this image, the hazmat team was quick to respond and had set up their containment measures to prevent further spread of the ammonia. The level of preparation and professionalism shown by the firefighters was impressive.
Here’s another shot from a slightly different angle:

The second tank was secured shortly after the initial leak was reported, minimizing any potential danger to the surrounding area. This kind of rapid response is crucial in situations like these, where even a small delay could have serious consequences.
And here’s a final picture showing the aftermath:

It’s clear that the team did an excellent job containing the situation. There were no reports of injuries, which is a testament to their training and dedication. I’ll keep you updated if more information becomes available. For now, it’s good to know that the community is in such capable hands.
