About 100 firefighters were exposed to asbestos and had to be decontaminated. Anyone who came into contact with debris from the explosion was cleaned and their clothing bagged. City officials want anyone who has debris on their clothing to remove it immediately, bag it and shower. While health experts said brief exposure to the debris will likely not be a problem, people can seek medical care if they are worried.
