Explosion threat at southern California chemical tank eliminated, firefighters say

Southern California firefighters eliminated an explosion threat from an overheating chemical tank overnight after a crack allowed pressure to release. Orange County fire officials said the tank's temperature dropped and crews verified the crack during nighttime monitoring operations. About 50,000 residents in Garden Grove remain evacuated while crews continue cooling the tank containing methyl methacrylate used in aircraft parts.
