[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 485577, member: 1944"] WElcome to Browncafe Spicy Italian! Seems the fire dept was a little miffed they were not called. I live about an hour from there also. And I only heard about it when our safety guy was talking about it at check in. Did UPS not call EPA at all? I think the hazmat team would be called first to secure the area, then the FD? seems like the FD would have been called to be on hand. Were there balls dropped along the way? DID anyone know what it was, and how would they know? Did we have a Mercury cop on duty who knew what it was. Did LP know what it was? I dont know what it is or looks like. Sounds like lots of guessing going on, to keep things quiet. It isnt like it was UPS fault, but dont the counters inspect packages? Dont they have to be opened to be inspected if brought to a counter? I always thought that was kinda dumb since drivers have to take pkgs from people off the street with no ?'s asked. How really serious is mercury, isnt it in fish we eat? Because of pollution. What exactly would it be used for, and who would use that much? Just a few questions. And what has been most of the responses to leaking packages while on route when you call in a leaking package? [/QUOTE]
