Port Tampa Bay sulfur tank fire: Fire crew on scene with Hazmat team; shelter-in-place at Harbor Island
Tampa Fire Rescue and hazardous materials crews responded to an chemical fire incident at Port Tampa Bay.
A sulfur plant fire at Port Tampa Bay, Florida, prompted a hazardous materials response from Tampa Fire Rescue and its HazMat team on Friday. A shelter-in-place notification was issued for nearby Harbor Island residents due to concerns over potential hydrogen sulfide exposure from the leaking storage tank. The gas, known for its pungent odor, can irritate the eyes and respiratory system at high concentrations, prompting officials to close Sparkman Channel to marine traffic and advise residents to remain indoors.
