In light of local and federal investigations, representatives from the company acknowledged visits to their offices and reiterated their cooperation with authorities. The parent company of the firm, TTSI, was noted to possess clean safety records with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, although specific details regarding any prior incidents involving its subsidiaries remain undisclosed.
Additionally, the company's previous initiative of transitioning a portion of its fleet to compressed natural gas vehicles, akin to the vehicle involved in the Wilmington explosion, was underscored. Despite such efforts, the explosion resulted in major injuries to two Los Angeles firefighters, with one airlifted to a specialized burn center for treatment and the other in critical, yet stable condition as of Friday morning.
