Yesterday a pole transformer blew up across the street in my neighborhood.
Afterwards the transformer smoked then burned for maybe an hour and a half. Neighborhood was quite smelly from oil burning.
Hazmat came out that night, then Edison came and changed the transformer.
Today I see another Hazmat team showed up along with a special dumpster - I guess they've still got stuff to clean.
Anyone know what if any concern my family should have for smelling this burning transformer yesterday if the oil had PCB's in it? Neighborhood was built ~1964 and given the amount of detail they've given with the hazmat team I'm guessing PCB's were in the oil.
