Ghent attorney: Town did not know about sodium
May 21, 2013 6:46 am
John Mason reports in the Register Star Ghent Town Attorney Ted Guterman has rebutted a TCI Inc, spokesman’s recent statement that town officials were told sodium was present in the company's Falls Industrial Road plant prior to the Aug. 1 fire. It had been reported sodium and the subcontractor Power Substation Services were both present at the TCI site six months before the fire. Guterman branded the statement that town officials had full knowledge of TCI's operations, "false." He emphasized the town had no knowledge of either the PSS operation or the presence of sodium. TCI responded, calling the attorney "confused." Both sodium and PSS have been implicated as possible contributors to the disastrous fire. TCI has been widely criticized for not reporting their existence at the plant to authorities. Read the full story in the Register Star.
