Refinery fire injures 4

And Holly Refinery want to put a fossil fuel electrical generating plant in a residential area in West Bountiful? This is a perfect example as to why these things should not be in residential areas.

Tonight the Department of Air Quality is holding an open public meeting regarding this proposed power plant. If you are a concerned citizen, then come and show support for keeping this out of West Bountiful.
Division of Air Quality Public Hearing, Tues., Jan. 13, 6:30 pm
DEQ Auditorium (Room 101), 168 N. 1950 W., SLC

We were really impressed with the professionalism of those involved in helping with the evacuation. The reverse 911 calls and door to door notifications were effective and the police officers, emergency workers and Red Cross at the evacuation site were helpful and kept us informed. Because of the hard work of the Fire Department we were able to go home pretty quickly, but this was a great practice for the day when we have a much longer evacuation period. Kudos to all of those who were involved, and our best wishes to those who were injured.

It is a good thing that Utah is a "Right to work" state.

And businesses don't have to worry about worker safety.

And the nosey Unions filing on Businesses to follow the law for worker safety.

Darn Unions...They make business more expensive, and keep the dumb workers safe.

It is a good thing that Utah workers are disposable and this is a "right to work state."

Yeah, if we had union in there they'd have gone out of busuness long ago. As for the ground water runoff, I agree wholeheartedly, I think you should park your car and WALK (yeah right) to the media center and complain.

I was impressed with the evacuation efforts from the Police, Jeep Posse and the call I received from the Reverse 911; however, once we made it to Woods Cross High I was disappointed. The gym was open for all to come in and only one officer with very little information.
Not an elected Woods Cross City official provided leadership in the crisis. Even if it was a voluntary evacuation, what a prime opportunity to put into effect our emergency plan� is there one? I expected to walk into the �shelter� and have a counsel member be available to answer questions and provide leadership. Instead, one officer was doing a great job of keeping peace and a handful of reporters looking for a story�
The bonus was the Red Cross bringing �treats� to the shelter� what a waste of emergency funds. If green jello with carrot shavings had been present, it would have been a great �fireside.�

In response to Caleby's comments... as a long time resident of Woods Cross and Bountiful, the Refineries were here long before you. I am sure you noticed them before you purchased your home...right? Residence should realize the risks of living next to refineries... instead of moving in and expecting the refineries to change. I belive in regulation... but hey... didn't you look at what you chose to live next to?
