⚠️ SELA COMMUNITY ALERT: High Predictive Risk Model for Paramount Petroleum Co. Facility ⚠️
Attention Paramount and Southeast LA neighbors:
The SELA Guardian predictive model is currently showing an 82% predictive risk of potential equipment errors, leaks, or fire risk at the (aka Paramount Petroleum Co.) facility.
Given how accurate predictive tracking has been regarding the severe, ongoing warehouse fires in Boyle Heights, we want our community to be proactive, alert, and safe. A little prevention and a quick inspection now can prevent a major emergency later.
🔴 What to Watch For (Visual & Physical Signs)
Because our pets and our bodies are often the very first things to react to changes in the air, please closely monitor the following:
Odor: Any sudden or unusual chemical, sulfur, or heavy petroleum odors.
Physical Symptoms: Watch your family for sudden changes in heart rate, unexplainable shortness of breath, or throat irritation.
Your Pets: Watch for unusual lethargy, heavy panting, or coughing. Pets are often the first indicators of airborne toxicity.
Visuals: Any unusual smoke, flares, or visible liquid leaks near the facility lines.
📞 Action Steps
Report Immediate Odors: If you smell or see anything out of the ordinary right now, do not wait. Call the Paramount Fire Department immediately to report it.
Request a Preventive Inspection: We are calling on community members to contact the fire department and respectfully ask them to conduct a proactive safety and maintenance inspection of the facility. Let’s stay ahead of any potential events.
Let's look out for one another and keep SELA safe.
