Although the Amazon warehouse has resumed normal operations, there were still media reports on the closure of some Amazon warehouses yesterday. Therefore, Xiaodi hereby reminds all sellers and friends not to worry too much and not to be confused by the overwhelming news on the Internet. At present, the leakage of dangerous goods has been controlled.

#Amazon warehouse closing event cause and development

The closure of the Amazon warehouse was caused by the chemical reaction of nearly 188,000 pounds of chemical styrene contained in a railroad tanker in California , which could cause an explosion at any time, threatening the lives and properties of nearby residents. About 170 nearby residents were under evacuation orders, while Highway 215 was closed in both directions in the borough. According to feedback from many people in the international warehousing and logistics industry in Los Angeles, the incident also led to the closure of all Amazon/SBD3 warehouses.

Local Riverside County Fire Chief John Clutter said it was too risky for first responders to get close to the railcar, which was parked on a section of train track used by businesses that handle chemicals. We've been flying our drones all night shooting video, and the train cars are… hot red.

The situation was so dangerous that even firefighters could not immediately approach the tanker, local authorities said at a news conference at 6 a.m. on Friday . They are waiting to approach the tanker until the styrene cools down .

At present, according to the relevant authorities, the chemical reaction that generates extreme heat in the tanker is slowing down, the risk of explosion is low , and the situation is developing in an excellent direction. Highway 215 has now reopened, all evacuation orders have been lifted, and Amazon warehouses involved have returned to normal.
