The threat of a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE) has been eliminated, per OC Fire Authority on X. Yesterday, a BLEVE was described as the worst-case, catastrophic event. The previously identified crack in the tank has allowed the tank to release its pressure. The temperature has been stabilized and is decreasing. Currently, it is 93 degrees (previously 100 degrees), marking a turning point in the incident.
