Longview, Washington — A vat containing a chemical treatment product at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging facility imploded Tuesday morning at about 7:18 a.m., causing chemical burns and inhalation injuries to multiple people. Firefighters and paramedics decontaminated patients on scene, and ambulances transported injured individuals to PeaceHealth St. John in Longview and PeaceHealth Southwest in Vancouver. Emergency crews, including roughly 40 firefighters, paramedics and a regional hazmat team, secured Industrial Way and advised residents to avoid the area; officials said there was no immediate threat to the public. The Washington State Department of Ecology and local agencies are monitoring environmental risks, and investigations into the cause are underway this week while the company has not immediately commented.
