When crews arrived, they found a large explosion had occurred in one of the holds on the tank, FDNY Deputy Assistant Chief David Simms said.

“The whole DEP family is in mourning today,” expressed DEP Commissioner Rohit T. Aggarwala. “The employee who passed away had been a dedicated servant to both the Department and the City for 33 years.”

Aggarwala also stated, “He was a respected and knowledgeable member of the Bureau of Wastewater Treatment, and his long service highlights his dedication to the DEP’s mission.”

Plant operations were not affected and there did not appear to be any environmental damage, NYC Water posted on X.
