@pennypacker90 I see. the audio said it was a dumpster for metal shavings. afterwards, it turned out to be magnesium not hot metal that caused a dumpster explosion.

maybe if the dumpster had magnesium it it, that reacts with water

Sad.....Sad situation.
Seemed to be a bit of lag in central`s response back to units on scene. Verifying the ambulances. I never heard central verify the request for hazmat.
