Employees Evacuate Timken Plant After Propane Tank Leak (Pic)
Fortunately, employees had already been evacuated to the building's front lawn, helping emergency medical personnel get right to work to solve the problem.
"(Timken) had already evacuated by the time we got there," Cherokee County Emergency Preparedness Director Rick Peterson said. "Their efforts really made things easy in calming the situation."
The first patients began arriving at 8:58 a.m. after being transported by the hospital's Emergency Medical Services (EMS), AmbuStar and TransMed ambulance services. By early afternoon, most of the patients had been discharged.
"All of the injuries came as a result of the leak," Upstate Carolina Medical Center Public Relations Director Steve Wong said. "Fortunately, none of their problems were too severe and we were able to treat and release the patients."
Upstate Carolina Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Joe Howell was especially proud of the way the incident was handled.
"The hospital performed exceptionally well during this community emergency," Howell said. "I am proud of everyone, especially the emergency room staff, EMS, and Dr. Mark Huntley, who was the primary doctor today - their responses and efficiency were outstanding."
