concern. the number 2 is flamability. and if there is any ignition sources, we end up with a fire. that's why we kept all fire units on the scene as long as we did. >> reporter: ever green oil is an oil recycling plant and the alameda county hazmat crews have had to respond here, most recently for a minor spill. in march of last year, they responded to a fire at the facility which ended up breaking the arm of an employee. plant officials would not speak to us except to release a statement saying that the plant is in safe condition and the plant is working with alameda fire to determine the cause of this pipe break and subsequent leak. >> thank you, allie. the community of alameda is stunned after a car with six young teens crashed into a tree
