TINLEY PARK, IL – There has been no fire on the former Tinley Park Mental Health Cinput assets since before the closing of the last design in 2012, however, village fire officials said they were very familiar with the dangers that can also occur if there is one somewhere in the vacant and abandoned 280-acre site northwest of 183rd and Harlem.
Extend.
“We would treat it as a major incident of other dangerous fabrics,” said Forest Reeder, Tinley Park’s fire chief. “It would be a reaction from several companies very similar to that of a large apple in perspective for the participation of unknown chemicals.”
An inspection by the Illinois Environmental Intellectual Protection Agency last December revealed not only fragile asbestos and black mold in all buildings on the site, but also several barrels of chemicals, some classified and others unlabeled.
Reeder said the Tinley Park Fire Department is responsible for handling hazardous fabric conditions because the amounts of Interstate 80 and Interstate 57 are in its reaction zone.
“We can also have a trailer that would go through I-80, and if the force of reason doesn’t let us know exactly what’s in it, we might be dealing with something similar,” the leader said.
Incidents involving dangerous fabrics along the city’s train tracks or in busy advertisements classified as arterial classified as Harlem Avenue and La Gdiversity Road would also “concern us,” he said.
But a home on the mental health center’s valuables would create another situation. On the one hand, Reeder said, the length of the deception would allow firefighters “actually further because of valuables.”
Barrels of unlabelled chemicals pose an unknown danger.
“We’re aware (of the inspection) and present access to this information,” Reeder said, but noted that because we don’t know what’s in the giant apple barrels, the scenario is “a giant, it depends.”
“There is nothing quantifiable about what exists and at what level,” he said. “There is a difference if a barrel (which is on fire), or if it leaks.”
