**Moon Valjean** (1:23)
What's going on in the Hezmat thing?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:24)
Yeah, hazardous fire breaks out in Metro East. Residents advise to shelter in place.

**Rizzuto** (1:28)
Oh my God.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:29)
No, this is a serious thing.
Officials are responding after a fire involving hazardous material broke out in the Metro East Wednesday morning impacted the area of Sauget, Cahokia Heights and East St. Louis. According to the St. Clair County Emergency Management Agency, fire broke out in an industrial area around 12:45 a.m. south of Missouri Avenue between 50th and 19th streets in Sauget, Cahokia, and East St. Louis. The fire triggered an Everbridge notification to all phones in the area. Residents are advised to shelter in place, close windows, refrain from utilizing systems which may bring outside air into the house. So that's air conditionings.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:10)
Oh no, of all.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:11)
Not the day for that.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:12)
Well, you know what? If you need a cooling center, there's plenty on...

**SPEAKER_4** (2:15)
You're not allowed to leave.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:17)
They have to stay in their...

**SPEAKER_4** (2:18)
It's shelter in place.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:20)
I'm sorry.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:21)
Come on, you can't...

**SPEAKER_6** (2:22)
That's insane. People...

**SPEAKER_7** (2:23)
Put a mask on.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:25)
Come on.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:26)
Yeah.

**SPEAKER_9** (2:28)
Well, they don't want you going outside.

**SPEAKER_10** (2:30)
It's like 100 degrees.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:30)
I get that, but if you are an old person, you can't stay in 100 degree house.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:34)
Or go outside and risk dying from whatever is in the air?

**SPEAKER_6** (2:37)
You put on a mask, you get in your car.

**SPEAKER_7** (2:39)
You get the Oats bus, you can take it to the hospital.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:41)
Hold your breath. Everyone?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:42)
Big deep breath in and go, go, go, go, go. Go, go, go.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:46)
Feel bad.

**Moon Valjean** (2:47)
Have they said what's burning?

**SPEAKER_6** (2:50)
Is it the Monsanto area?

**Moon Valjean** (2:52)
No, no, it's in Sauget. I was seeing cameras in Sauget on the news here.

**SPEAKER_6** (2:57)
Isn't that where the Monsanto plant is, like right by Pops? Like all those industrial Monsanto's there?

**Moon Valjean** (3:02)
I thought that was there.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:03)
I don't think it's Monsanto anymore. It's Bayer.

**Moon Valjean** (3:06)
Bayer is a Lembergen olive.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:09)
And zero coppers over there.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:11)
Oh, I thought that was just like their offices. I thought like the actual plants.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:14)
Maybe.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:14)
According to a social media post by the agency, there is a fire involving hazardous material. A cloud could be seen floating northwest from the fire scene on Sauget Industrial Parkway near 255

**SPEAKER_6** (3:28)
So, northwest, so it's coming for us. It's floating northwest.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:34)
I hate that description of a cloud floating just by itself, it's floating north.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:39)
It's the Kim trails.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:41)
Northwest.

**SPEAKER_6** (3:42)
Well, that's awful and I hate it. I had no idea that's going on, so I will dive deep into that this morning.

**SPEAKER_4** (3:47)
St. Clair County emergency officials identified the chemical as, I'm not even going to try to pronounce that.
It's often used to make chlorine tablets for pools, although it does not contain chlorine, it reacts to water. Officials say the chemical could cause eye skin irritation and also poses an inhalation risk.

**Moon Valjean** (4:06)
Bayer says they have locations in Creeve Corps and Chesterfield, but does that...

**SPEAKER_6** (4:11)
What's the crazy looking industrial plant that is ripe by pop?

**SPEAKER_4** (4:15)
There's a lot of them.

**SPEAKER_6** (4:16)
I know.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:17)
They're all crazy looking.

**SPEAKER_6** (4:17)
It smells like meth.

**Moon Valjean** (4:19)
Yeah, and tires. I always go to them and go, Oh, look at that, they're burning tires.

**SPEAKER_7** (4:22)
It could just be meth, I know.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:23)
That's a giant meth manufacturing plant.
I don't know what goes on over there, but that's the breaking news this morning. It is going to be hot and swampy today. It's going to be one of those days. I don't care whether you call it a weather impact day or a first alert day, whatever it is, it doesn't matter. It's hot and it's going to be hot through this evening. Humidity, swampiness, scorching temperatures, and we're going to be at the baseball game today.
