manxchatterbox Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Following on from the fire at the fuel depot in Hemel Hempstead what would the situation be if there were a conflagration at say the Manx Petroleums depot at the end of the breakwater? Do the IOM Fire Service have adequate resources on the Island to be able to deal with such an incident? Is the water supply to the site adequate? Do they have enought foam solution, foam dispensers? Do they have enough money to train for such an incident? What other concerns are there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I'm concerned for your state of mind and well-being. Are you eating properly? Are you getting enough sleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
access55 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I would say the water supply is OK it's right by the Sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxchatterbox Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 if you lived in one of the houses on Approach Road, with some huge fuel tanks only a couple of hundred metres away wouldn't you be having sleepless nights too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
When Skies Are Grey Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Jeez you ask a lot of largely irrelevant questions..you must be fun on a night out! Why am I having a pint of lager? Is there sufficient lager in the pub to fill my glass? Why is the brewery charging so much for the drinks? Why are there voices in my head?

Mission Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Didn't someone mention in another thread that the storage tanks over here have some sort of built-in feature to prevent them catching fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ans Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 What other concerns are there? I am concerned that in this day and age, people wander the streets unprepared for the possibility of an attack from a polar bear. Here is a handy interactive guide that's both fun and educational http://www.socc.ca/kids/polarbearattack.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdick Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 an on MR they just commented that looking at the pictures of Hemel Mepstead is like looking at a nuclear explosion!!! Wouldn't the sight of a nuclear explosion be slightly different to plumes of black smoke rising into the air? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
