Friday in Puerto Rico a oil storage place caught on fire. Over 350 firefighters were needed and 1,000 police men. The police were needed for traffic issues and security. This fire caused over a 1,000 people to evacuate their homes. The fire has been raging for three days and say it should be under control by 6p.m. tonight. 5 tanks burned saturday, 12 tanks were smoking, and 4 had burned and collapsed.The H1N1 flu shot was given for procaution. It takes over two weeks for this shot to build up in the body.People from the Representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency checked for contaminations in the air. The fire is so hot it is burning off all the chemicals let off the fire. They say it is to early to identify the source that caused the fire. The search to discover the source of the fire won't begin till it is completely out. The FBI has got involved in this. Even President Obama issued a emergency in Puerto Rico.This is a really big fire and could go on for a lot longer. A lot of gasoline in the country will be lost and they will have to get it back some how. I hope the air doesn't become polluted.
