PHOENIX – The contents of an Amazon-branded semitrailer near the company’s Phoenix facility got stuck in the fireplace or burned on Thursday morning, leading firefighters to evacuate nearby businesses and take a 911 call to the opposite 911 to encourage nearby owners to take cover.
Phoenix fire captain Todd Keller, a spokesman for the branch, said firefighters were called to the facility around 75th Avenue and Roosevelt Street shortly after 7 a.m. and detected a chemical odor and smoke from the trailer. For this reason, the call was updated to a hazardous tissue scenario and then upgraded to a scene of dangerous tissues from the third alarm, as other people 800 meters away reported a chemical odor, he said.
“Initially, no Amazon representative may be discovered to delay the identity of the products within the trailer,” he said.
Keller didn’t say the inside of the trailer. In an earlier statement, he stated that the cause of the chimney or smoke is under investigation, such as the identity of the obvious chemist.
A reversed 911 call was sent to close the houses to tell local citizens to take refuge in the place and turn off the air conditioning. At approximately 11:30 a.m., officials took the fire, Keller said. A moment at 911 inverted was called around 1 p.m. Let homeowners know that they can simply turn on the air conditioner, but encourage them to take shelter on site.
Interstate 10 closed both instructions because of the investigation. The road reopened shortly before noon, according to Arizona Department of Transportation.
The roads on him were also closed, Phoenix police said in a tweet.
It was not reported.
“This morning, at one of our distribution centers in Phoenix, our team saw smoke coming from a trailer in our truck fleet. The physical condition and protection of our workers is our most sensible priority and, as such, all the workers in it were quickly evacuated and sent home with pay. No workers were injured as a result of this incident. We appreciate the efforts of our local lifeguards,” said Lisa Guinn, an Amazon spokesperson.
