Port of Catoosa reopens after chemical fire causes evacuation

TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — The City of Catoosa braced for a potential disaster Wednesday morning when its port played host to a chemical fire.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the Tulsa Port Authority still wasn’t sure what was inside the storage tank which caught fire. But Port Director David Yarbrough said the responsible thing was to presume the worst and err on the side of caution.

“Y’know, we prepare for it,” he said. “Hope you don’t have it happen. Every now and then, something goes not according to plan, and you just react, and you do what you gotta do.”

The port was cleared out, and the lines of people leaving stretched beyond the horizon.

How does a company NOT know what they're storing in their tanks????

It a perfect world, the company would have their license to operate revoked for their lack of oversight and management barred from ever running another company with a public health risk.
