Accuworx was asked to dispatch an Emergency Response Team with a specialized high pressure foam fire fighting trailer to support efforts to douse foam and prevent further explosions at the Lac-Megantic train derailment in southeastern Quebec. The white-hot glow of the fire was so enormous that it was prominently visible on a satellite image of Quebec shot on July 6 from space by NASA. A special fire retardant foam was brought in to aid firefighters extinguish the fires in what reports has described as a blast with a 1 kilometre radius.
Our response team, led by Bill McMenemy, made Accuworx proud for their professional and courageous spirit and a terrific job well done.
