Wayne Melton was the chief of the Orange County Hazmat Unit in 2023.
Annie BennettHOST
He remembers a call he got that December.
Wayne MeltonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I heard Warwick get summoned to that location somewhere around 830-ish in the morning for an active battery energy storage fire.
Annie BennettHOST
Rather, it's the people in each town and for every proposal that decide.
Melissa Hale-SpencerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So all these individual places, you have to go through the regular hearing process.
Annie BennettHOST
Now, while some are worried about what happens if something goes wrong, Wayne Melton, the former Orange County hazmat chief, says there's a lot of misinformation out there.
Wayne MeltonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, it's my opinion that it is relatively safe because the frequency upon which you have these battery energy storage fires is kind of similar to the chances of you winning the Powerball.
AdamHOST
And they blew past that number [laughs] in ways that are hard to understand.
AdamHOST
Um, as they're going around and looking for this land, they end up running into this area in a town of Wallkill in Orange County, New York.

AdamHOST
It was this 300-acre plot of land.
Jonathan LothropGUEST
So this literally gives us a new window on how these people are surviving in the Ice Age and just one other aspect to that is so my boss is Bob Feranek here at the New York State Museum.
Jonathan LothropGUEST
He's both director of research and collections but he's also the curator of Ice Age animals and he had radiocarbon dated Preserved fossils of Macedon that are found especially in places like Orange County in southeastern New York.
Jonathan LothropGUEST
And his radiocarbon dating of those fossils, along with his colleague Andy Kozlowski, which was published literally 10 years ago, indicated that Macedon went extinct in New York about 12,000 years ago.
Jonathan LothropGUEST
or maybe even earlier.
