Ongoing Work: Can the building be covered or tented?
Return to: Frequently Asked Questions
The building is structurally unsound, so tenting is not possible.
- Tenting would present safety issues for workers.
- As workers and large, heavy machinery will be in and out of the building, tenting would also block access needed to remove batteries.
- Air monitoring and air sampling is the best way to determine if particles are traveling off-site.
- Results (post-fire) continue to show levels of particulates do not exceed the health-based standards at the fence line or in the community.
