Oooh... This appears to be the impact zone. Wonder if this is the used oil facility. #UPS2976 #SDF #planecrash #aviation

Something about checking plane wreckage or structure for victims. 11/05/25 0045UTC #UPS2976 #SDF #planecrash #aviation
"Still have fire around tank farm on Grade Lane" just outside range of aerials Partial status: No visible fire now at Kentucky Oil Recycling. Oil running North down Grade Lane. Working fire on back side of tanks(?), unclear which building they are talking about. 11/05/25 0051UTC #UPS2976 #SDF #planecrash #aviation

(lots of discussion on how much foam the oil/gas company departments are bringing). 11/05/25 00027 #UPS2976 #SDF #planecrash #aviation
(Speculation: they have asked for any units capable of deploying foam from anywhere nearby) 11/05/25 0025UTC #UPS2976 #SDF #planecrash #aviation
They are instructing units to make sure any civilians they find on Grade Lane evacuates. Sounds like massive mutual aid response, there are fire units from the Air National Guard, towns and cities near by, and I heard Dow Chemical and American Synthetic fire departments also on scene now. 11/05/25 0024 #UPS2976 #SDF #planecrash #aviation
