A chemical incident at Melrose Industries' GKN Aerospace facility in Garden Grove, California, caused a 34,000-gallon tank of flammable methyl methacrylate to overheat, triggering evacuation orders for up to 50,000 residents. Emergency crews warned of a potential explosion or chemical leak, though the risk of a major explosion was later reduced after a crack in the tank released pressure. Authorities have since lowered evacuation zones to about 16,000 residents and confirmed no injuries or contamination. GKN Aerospace is working closely with emergency teams to safely resolve the situation amid ongoing concerns about chemical hazards.
