Just reading this article about PFAS chemicals brought back a memory of this recent occurrence in Columbia; from a Columbia news, views and reviews September 2018 post:

Concern | The release of a hazardous material is of concern to some: those impacted. The above is a screen shot from the Columbia Police Department facebook page.

Curiously absent; why? | Any information at the Fire Department website and facebook page.

Curiously present; why? | Why does the Columbia No. 1 Fire Department facebook page exist?

Borough communicated | If you’re signed up to get communications from the borough, you did get a communication about the release.
