GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (KABC) -- There is no longer a threat of a catastrophic explosion at a tank filled with a toxic chemical at the GKN Aerospace facility in Garden Grove, officials says Monday.

The "crisis situation" has forced 50,000 people out of their homes in Orange County for several days.

Crews worked overnight on a risky mission to confirm if the pressure in the tank was releasing after a crack was discovered.

In a Monday morning update, the Orange County Fire Authority said the threat of a BLEVE, which stands for Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion, at the site "is now off the table."
