    Benzene anyone? Jeez, they say ev battery fires are too risky. Makes one Wonder if Governor Gavin Newsom had the water on for the fire hydrants. So very glad I don't drive around El Segundo anymore. The air always had a certain stink around El Segundo - associated with refineries. Same with the refinery around Torrance.

    Grew up in Oklahoma, the oil patch. Seen pretty much everything at least once.
