What’s That Smell?
Some Metro Detroit residents woke up Saturday morning to a horrible smell in the air…
A horrible odor in the Dearborn area has been blamed on a problem at a Marathon Petroleum refinery.
The company released a statement Sunday, apologizing and saying the odor is related to a flare that needs to be repaired. A flare is a safety device that allows Marathon to combust excess materials.
Channel 4 reporter Larry Spruill was at the refinery and could barely speak because of the horrible smell.
Wind blowing from the west is carrying the odor north and northeast. Some people noticed it miles away in Warren in Macomb County.
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio.
