Aside of these signs and the address numbers, the building is completely unmarked.

    I’m no expert, so I can’t tell for sure, but my guess is that they’re storing two different chemicals. The left one looks like it’s a non-flammable, extremely hazardous material that shouldn’t be exposed to water (maybe an alkali metal, like lithium or sodium). The right one is a hazardous material that is a fire hazard above 93°C (200°F), but otherwise stable (maybe some kind of diesel?)

    So… If I had to take a wild guess, diesel and lithium batteries?

      Reading this made me wonder how metallic lithium is stored and, guess what, it’s stored in oil. So, which label do you use for a container holding lithium and oil? I’m guessing you need two, one for the lithium and one for the oil. And here we are.

      No, I don’t think this building is filled with lithium and covered in oil, but I suspect there is more than one container containing metallic lithium covered in oil.
