MCSO: SUSPECTED GLENDALE HOARDER PASSES OUT MIXING CHEMICALS
Tags: us_AZ, public, release, injury, bleach
Hazardous-material crews responded to a Glendale apartment Monday evening after police say a suspected hoarder was found passed out after mixing bleach and Drano in a toilet, authorities said.
The incident started as a medical call to an apartment complex near 135th and Glendale avenues, said Deputy Joaquin Enriquez, a Maricopa County Sheriff's Office spokesman.
First responders found a man passed out on the ground level of the apartment complex, Enriquez said. The man told them he'd been mixing chemicals, leading authorities to suspect there may have been a meth lab.
The man was taken to the hospital for precautionary reasons, Enriquez said. Meanwhile, authorities evacuated the complex and waited for Hazmat crews.
Hazardous-material technicians with the Sheriff's Office entered the man's apartment and found evidence of hoarding, Enriquez said.
"They were able to find just a bunch of clutter," he said. "They could not move two feet inside the apartment."

FRACKING FIRE POINTS OUT FAILINGS

CLARINGTON, Ohio ? Phillip Keevert, the only paid firefighter in Monroe County, was working a diesel spill on the morning of June 28 when a 911 dispatcher called his cellphone about another emergency.
Keevert was out of range of the county?s radio system, so he got in his truck and drove toward town. As he got closer, the radio static gave way to snippets of conversation.
He heard the word ?well.? More static. Then the word ?fire.?
One tanker truck was on fire at a StatOil North America well pad in Clarington. Now, two trucks were on fire. Now, three.
Keevert turned onto Rt. 78 east heading toward Clarington, about a 30-minute drive from the well pad, and saw a thick plume of black smoke cutting into the sky.
