Our Fire Prevention staff does a great job of working with all sorts of businesses to insure safe operations and facilities for their employees, visitors and the citizens of Eden Prairie. Earlier this week I tagged along with Scott Taylor, one of our four Fire Inspectors. On this day it was Scott’s assignment to inspect the removal of underground gasoline tanks and the installation of new underground storage tanks.
The picture below shows a new 20,000 gallon tank that has just been put into place at the Super America gas station at the intersection of County Road #4 and Highway #5. the facility is undergoing some remodeling, which includes the removal and replacement of their gasoline storage tanks. During the removal process, which Scott also witnessed, there were no signs of any tank leaks.
The second picture shows Scott in action. You’ll notice Scott is wearing a hard hat as well as a “High Visibility” vest. With a lot of big equipment on-site it is important to keep alert and be visible to the other workers as well.
