Fire! In the Staten Island freight yard, firemen had fought a seven-hour battle to extinguish the flaming acetaldehyde running down the side of the tank car. The firemen told our customer's anguished product manager they might have to run the car onto a barge a n d " d e e p - s i x " it. A p h o n e call w a s m a d e to Eastman's Acid Division in Kingsport for urgently needed advice. Luckily an Eastman materials handling expert was attending a meeting in M a n h a t t a n and police rushed h i m to the scene in minutes. Borrowing some coveralls, the m a n from Eastman approached the car and confirmed the source of the fire—a loose sampling rod valve. He directed the removal of its protective cover and water was played on the valve while it was tightened. Courageous and determined firemen (and a little specialized know-how from Eastman) saved the day ... and most of the car's contents. It doesn't take a four alarm fire to get Eastman service. One quiet phone ring is more than enough.
