We’re a little late getting this posted, but we wanted to share the response to an incident Monday morning at the Explorer storage facility in Glenpool.
Cushing Fire Department responded with eight firefighters, along with equipment and support from the Safety Alliance of Cushing (SAC). Upon arrival, crews established a water supply and began foam suppression operations. Through the coordinated efforts of everyone on scene, the situation was brought under control shortly after 7:30 p.m.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Safety Alliance of Cushing, as well as our partners at Enbridge and NGL, for their support and assistance.
This type of fire is thankfully not something we encounter often, but we are extremely proud of the professionalism, teamwork, and dedication demonstrated by everyone involved. Most importantly, we are grateful for the positive outcome and the safe, effective response of all agencies and personnel on scene.
Thank you to everyone who worked together to help bring this incident under control.
