Order. Good evening, im denise nakano. Neighbors reported hearing a loud boom this afternoon at the peco substation on juniper street. Fire suppression foam went billowing into the streets and about 2500 peco customers lost power. Lets go to nbc 10s drew smith who is live where it all happened. And drew youve learned the foam is not toxic. Deny hes, peco used the word nonhazardous, firefighters told me it should not hurt the environment. If you look you can see fire crews out here theyve been working for hours to try to get the foam down the drain. Peco investigators trying to get into the substation facility to figure out what went wrong. Neighbors say they felt a jolt before seeing a large amount of foam billowing out of this peco substation. There was a huge explosion and i look the outside and i could see foam five feet high running down the street. The bubbles kept on coming. Literally just pouring out. At one point climbing so high, it almost covered a stop sign. I was like oh boy, hope everything is okay. It turns out the system worked exactly like its supposed to. When the transformer went offline. The Fire Suppression material filled the building to stop a fire from spreading. But still, this is not a normal sight. Ive never seen anything like this in my life. You know, really. The flying substance brought out a big crowd using their phones to capture the wind carrying the bubbles up into the air. People were joking saying it was like christmas. But these are not like snowbanks the kids would want to play in. Even though hazmat says its not detrimental to the environment. Im grateful to the foam today, i think its like a happy ending. Its interesting theatrically. Were told no one was hurt out here but thousands did lose power. That also causing problems in some of the highrise towers where the elevators got stuck. Eight people were rescued from the elevators. The power should be back on for everybody now. Again, that investigation into what happened inside that substation is just now beginning. Live in center city, drew smith, nbc 10 news. The foamy mess caused a huge reaction on social media.
