At 5:37 AM, KVFD was dispatched to a fuel leak inside a house in the 300 block of Green Street, Borough of Parkesburg. Ambulance 8-1 staffed by career staff immediately responded followed by Tac-08, Utility 8, Command 8, and Ambulance 8-2. Parkesburg PD also responded and stood-by. Investigation revealed that the resident found their 60 year old fuel oil tank developed a leak and fuel oil was spreading throughout the finished basement. Crews assisted by containing the fuel oil, slowing the leak with negative pressure, and attempting to contact a clean-up crew to further mitigate the leak. Cochranville Fire Company, Containment 27, was requested and responded to assist KVFD. |
