Thanks to Tribune reporting on this hazardous material accident, I will now take a different route home from Downtown L.A. to Walnut and simply avoid the Seventh/Salt Lake area. I have it easy. But for the deputies, firefighters, and first responders who answered this perilous call not knowing what to expect, I and I'm sure others thank you for your bravery and what you did to protect the surrounding businesses and residents.
