I'm doubtful on the HF since it's not vinyl fluoride. More likely HCl.
Likely, there's some phosgene, though I've read that in large fires that mostly get's burned up. Of course there's CO. The liquid remnants are carcinogenic.

- op00to 4y agoThere’s not nearly enough F in the air to create HF. Where does the fluorine come from? It’s like 5ppb in the air.
- kurthr 4y agoIt doesn't... there is none. Any reporting that says there is likely is confused about other stuff too. I'm open to finding out there was a tank of Fluorine (now that's hazardous cargo!) in a nearby car, but it just sounds like gibberish from here.
