YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn California authorities say a large tank full of hazardous chemicals is no longer a threat to explode.
Fire officials say an overnight inspection found that a crack had relieved some of the pressure inside, calling it incredibly positive news.
Firefighters have been spraying the tank with water since it began overheating last week. It contains as much as 7,000 gallons of methyl methacrylate. It's a toxic chemical used to make plastic parts.
Officials say there's still a risk to public safety, but some of the 50,000 residents who evacuated Garden Grove, California, have been cleared to return home.
