On Monday I was helping our HSE (health, safety, and environmental) Manager take some site pictures. These are pictures for the local fire/disaster teams in case we have an accident or a chemical spill. Here is what we came up with.
Totally had to climb on the roof to get this one.
Anyway, we were walking around the rest of the site taking pictures, and over on the South end of the property there is this large concrete vault. It is about 30' x 30' and about 35-40' deep. To give you an idea of how big this vault is, it used to house 2-15,000 gallon tanks that were submereged under water, there was about 8' of water covering the top of the tanks. Over the last year they have had to remove the tanks that were stored here. Right now it is pretty much a large hole in the ground. But I had not seen the vault empty so, we walked over.
Bill, the HSE manager, says "Oh my God. There is a dog in here."
I look over the edge and see this:
This poor stray dog was in the bottom of this containment! Oh and there is about 2-3 feet of water and half of it is frozen. Luckily we walked out there before too much time had passed, then we would have come across a completely different scene.
We were able to safely get him out of there, and one of the operators took him home. It was a happy ending for this very lucky pup.
