Today, as we gather with family and friends, let us never forget the true meaning of Memorial Day. 🇺🇸

As Councilwoman and American citizen, I pause today with a grateful heart to honor the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Their courage, service, and love for this nation will never be forgotten.

Because of their sacrifice, we are blessed to live in the greatest country in the world — a nation where freedom, opportunity, and hope endure for generations to come.

On this Memorial Day, may we remember the fallen, pray for their families, honor our veterans, and teach our children the value of patriotism and sacrifice.

From my family to yours, wishing you a meaningful and blessed Memorial Day. May God bless our heroes, their families, and the United States of America. ❤️🤍💙

🚨Great news! 🚨

OCFA has declared that there is no longer an explosion threat related to the incident. Thank you to all of our first responders and agencies who have been working around the clock to keep our community safe.

I will continue to provide more updates as they become available.

I was not allowed to go live during this morning’s briefing, per instructions from Supervisor Janet Nguyen and OCFA.

🚨 Good news: OCFA confirmed last night found a crack in the tank. The tank is not currently under high pressure, which has significantly reduced the risk of an explosion.

The toxic material remains inside the tank and is not actively leaking at this time. Air and water quality continue to be closely monitored. Based on the current condition of the tank, OCFA stated that the information being provided to the public is accurate and transparent.

Current tank status:
Tank 1: 6,500 gallons — a crack was discovered.
Tank 2: 4,500 gallons — neutralized, but still considered flammable.
Tank 3: 15,000 gallons.

There are still many unknowns, and safety concerns remain. OCFA shared that temperatures inside the tank reached approximately 100°, though the exact temperature could be higher and remains unknown. Current speculation is that the chemical material may be hardening and turning into a solid state.

I will continue to keep the public updated as more verified information becomes available.

For more information, the public information hotline is 714-628-7085.

🔥 Update: 🔥

As of right now, no residents in Districts 1 or 2 have been asked to evacuate. However, officials are currently working on a plan as more information becomes available.

Just FYI, the current shelter location is the Westminster Senior Center, and parking is free. If residents have pets, WAGS will house them for the time being

Chemical leak situation in our neighboring city of Garden Grove and the evacuation orders that have been issued for nearby neighborhoods.

At this time, there are no evacuation orders for the City of Westminster. We are closely monitoring the situation alongside public safety officials and staying informed about developments in Garden Grove.

The safety of our residents remains our top priority. I encourage everyone to stay informed through official updates from local authorities and emergency services. Please continue to use caution and remain alert as crews work to contain and mitigate the situation.

Our prayers are with the affected residents, first responders, and all those working tirelessly to protect the community.
