The 2002 Penco Chemical fire.

Date Jan. 8th 2002.

EMI, FDNY and NYPD responded to a structure fire at the Penco Chemical plant, plant managers tell that the area the fire is in does not contain any hazardous materials, requiring special equipment. It was later discovered they were exposed to 1818-Caesar, a chemical engineering project to create a serum that would accentually freeze a persons age, and mind.

(I.e. someone exposed to it at 35, they would still look like they did when they were 35, even if 50 years had passed.). This serum also prevents natural death, though death through suicide, and serious injures is still possible.

The company was bankrupted by the ensuing lawsuits and government intervention with the company.
