About 40,000 residents were ordered to evacuate and local schools were closed after a storage tank at GKN Aerospace in Garden Grove, California, overheated and began leaking methyl methacrylate, a highly volatile, toxic and flammable chemical used in making plastic aircraft parts. The tank, holding roughly 6,000‑7,000 gallons, could rupture or explode, prompting officials to expand evacuation orders to neighboring Orange County cities—including Cypress, Stanton, Anaheim, Buena Park and Westminster—while crews set up sand‑bag barriers to prevent any spill from reaching storm drains, creeks or the ocean. No injuries or deaths have been reported, and fire officials emphasized that the situation is not precautionary but a genuine threat that could result in a tank failure or explosion, urging residents to follow evacuation directives for their safety.
