Summary
"Right now we feel like everything is in pretty good shape," he told the TV station.Still, it was a very hard day, Kanawha County Manager Jennifer Herrald told The Associated Press."We lost a law enforcement officer and they laid her to rest, our community was already hurting over that event, and then to end the day with an explosion at a chemical plant when our first responders were already grieving and exhausted from dealing with a funeral - it was a hard situation to go through this evening," she said.Chemours formed as a spinoff from DuPont in 2015.
