即使楼内的洒水系统已经启动,Strem Chemicals仍有浓烟冒出。马萨诸塞州纽伯里波特工厂的火灾持续闷烧至周六上午,随后消防员将其扑灭。1
这场三级警报火灾的应对行动于10月24日周六凌晨约2:30结束,消防人员随后撤离现场,当天的报道没有报告人员受伤。但扑灭火灾并未解答附近居民或工作人员面临的另一个问题:烟雾是否在工厂范围之外造成了危害。现有的官方说法和报道并未证实针对这起事故的场外安全评估结论。1 2 3
根据消防部门10月24日的更新,纽伯里波特消防员于2026年10月23日周五晚上约11:10赶到Mulliken Way 7号。临时消防局长Stephen Hamilton宣布,消防部门于周五深夜至周六期间赶赴现场并扑灭了火灾。3
这些时间描述的是救援响应和撤离现场的时间,并非火灾的确切持续时长。消防部门所说的约11:10,并非经过独立确认的起火、派遣或首次抵达时间。WCVB报道的约凌晨2:30清场时间,同样无法确定火灾具体何时被扑灭。WHDH对救援响应时间的描述较为笼统,称大约在晚上11点。3 1 2
关键事实
来自纽伯里、梅里马克、西纽伯里、埃姆斯伯里和索尔兹伯里的消防员协助纽伯里波特消防人员扑灭火灾。这5个协助部门显示了互助响应的范围,但这份名单和三级警报级别都无法确定现场消防员或消防车辆的核实数量。1
由于该设施处理化学品,马萨诸塞州消防服务局危险材料紧急响应部门也接到召集。该部门参与行动,使化学品专家加入救援;但仅凭这一点,并不能确认发生了有毒物质泄漏。1
烟雾无法证明什么
Strem为研究和商业应用提供高纯度特种化学品,包括催化剂、配体、有机金属化合物和纳米材料。这类产品说明了为何现场需要化学专业知识,但并不能确定什么物质燃烧、哪些材料暴露在高温或烟雾中,或是否有化学品从建筑内泄漏。1
《波士顿环球报》10月24日的报道说,尚不清楚是否有化学品卷入火灾。这种不确定性意味着两种可能都不能排除:该工厂的业务性质和可见烟雾无法证明出现了有毒烟羽,而现有报道中没有提及已确认的泄漏,也不能证明没有泄漏。4
现有官方摘录和报道均未证实针对这起事故的空气监测数据、化学物质鉴定或烟羽评估。它们也没有明确认定场外环境安全。消防部门宣布火灾已扑灭,支持的是火势得到控制这一结论,而非更广泛的环境安全结论。3 1 4
同样的限制也适用于公众防护指示。现有说法尚未核实是否发布过疏散令或就地避险指示、是否撤销过其中任何一项,或是否明确认定无需采取防护行动。这是信息缺口,并不意味着曾下令采取这些措施,也不意味着不需要任何防范措施。3
对附近居民而言,这是需要分别作答的不同问题。火焰是否已经熄灭,可以在现场确认。烟雾是否影响到物业范围以外的人,则需要针对这起事故进行评估。仅凭“化工厂”几个字引发的警惕,或因火灾扑灭而产生的安心感,都不能替代这项评估。
起火原因和对工作场所的影响仍未查明
播出原貌 10 行
- Heavy smoke came from Strem Chemicals even after the building's sprinklers activated.
- Firefighters extinguished the three-alarm fire, and no injuries were reported Saturday. For people living or working nearby, the unresolved question is whether the smoke created a hazard beyond the plant.
- The fire happened at Strem Chemicals on Mulliken Way in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Newburyport firefighters responded to the facility at number seven late Friday night, October 23.
- Responders found heavy smoke coming from the building. Its sprinkler system had activated, but the fire continued to smolder into Saturday morning before firefighters put it out.
- Newburyport firefighters responded at about eleven ten Friday night. Crews cleared the scene around two thirty Saturday morning, after the fire was extinguished. Those times mark the response and departure, rather than the exact beginning and end of the fire.
- The call reached three alarms. Massachusetts sent its Department of Fire Services hazardous-materials response team because the facility handles chemicals.
- Five neighboring fire departments helped Newburyport put out the blaze. Newbury and Merrimac sent assistance, along with West Newbury, Amesbury and Salisbury. The response brought local firefighters and state chemical specialists to the same scene.
- Strem supplies high-purity specialty chemicals for research and commercial use. Its products include catalysts, which help chemical reactions happen, and specialized materials such as organometallic compounds and nanomaterials. That business explains why chemical expertise was needed at the scene.
- No injuries were reported on October 24. Officials haven't provided an incident-specific finding about off-site air safety, including air-monitoring measurements. Whether chemicals were involved in the fire is also unclear. The smoke and hazardous-materials response alone don't resolve that question.
- The extent of building damage and any disruption to work are still unclear. Investigators haven't identified what started the fire. Its cause remains under investigation.
