According to a report from News9, multiple Grady County, Oklahoma, fire departments responded to a massive commercial fire fueled by expired hand sanitizer Wednesday in Chickasha. The fire represents the third storage site in the area to be destroyed by fire in recent months.
Once again, Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and OSBI investigators were on site, which is one of three locations now under investigation after two fires struck other facilities on August 7 and August 11. The DEQ said Wednesday’s site stored approximately 1,500 to 2,000 pallets of expired alcohol.
To stop the alcohol from running into a nearby creek, firefighters said they were going to let the fire burn itself out.
The Office of the State Fire Marshal and OSBI are now investigating the incidents.
