Another Haz-Mat Incident at Kerite
03/27/09: More than
one hundred workers were evacuated from
the Kerite Company in Seymour Friday
after a bad batch of powdered peroxide
caught fire. The smoldering pallet of
burning chemical was pushed outside with
a forklift by an alert worker. Fire
crews carefully put water on the fire to
contain the organic
peroxide cloud. This
is the second such fire at Kerite in as
many weeks. The incident closed a
section of Route 67 and an exit ramp off
Route 8. E-11,R-12,E-13,T-14,E-16,R-17,
were on scene for a little over three
hours. DEP remained on scene with clean
up crews. Oxford Fire was called into
cover at C2 and their rescue was asked
to come right to the scene. After
clearing, E-13 was called back to stand
by as DEP removed the rest of the
peroxides out of the building. They were
on scene for hours after the first tone
stuck. While the rest of the company ran
around town with a car fire, and a MVA.
Very busy day in the town
of Seymour.

Third Haz-Mat of the Night
3/16/09:
Toned out for a possible HazMat spill with a
tractor trailer involved. Upon arrival we
found a tractor trailer with a empty 5,000
gallon tank that had become separated from
it's chaise. The tank was empty. There was
no hazards. We waited on scene for a heavy
duty wrecker. All units were cleared per
command. Units remained on scene for a
little over an hour. With all these alarms
it made for a busy night into the following
day.

Haz-Mat with Fire
3/16/09: At 21:45 hours we were toned out
for a Hazmat spill with a possible chemical
fire at the Kerite Company. Upon arrival we
found a heavy smoke condition throughout the
Day Street area and extending towards Route
8. An employee had towed the chemical
outside and left it in its container. A
smoke condition existed in the building from
the chemical off-gassing. DEP was called in
for assistance. Several employees were
treated on scene and did not require any
transport. We cleared at approximately 01:30
hours after determining the chemical needed
to cool down on its own. The DEP and Haz-mat
Team remained on scene. Units on scene for
this alarm were: E-11, R-12, E-13, H-7,
E-15, E-16 and R-17. Oxford Fire was also
standing by at Citizens for in-town
coverage.
We were later called back to the same
location at 02:00 hours by the DEP. The
chemical had reached its flash point and
ignited a fire which produced a large yellow
flame. An attack was made with a 1-3/4" hand
line and the flames were smothered. We
remained on scene until 03:30 hours with
E-11, R-12, E-13, H-7, E-16 and the DEP and
Hazmat Teams. It was determined that the
chemical did not pose a hazard to the
environment.

Car vs.
Bus
03/02/09: At around 9
a.m. the Seymour Fire Dept. was dispatched
for an MVA. Upon their arrival they found a
car head on into a school bus. The car had
slid into the bus while trying to stop. The
car slid about 40 feet. There were four
patients in the car with minor injuries and
they were released to family members. The
bus was filled with students and there were
no injuries reported. The students were
moved to another bus and transported to
school. Photos by
