Transcript:
We have a commercial truck drop at fuel tank right around to south of Allen Street. A couple of gallons of fuel spilled. We got their maintenance crew on the scene. We're trying to lift the tanks over the place. Big wheels on its way also. Did any of the fuel make us wait down the screen? Not down the train, that's a negative. We did dam it and made a burn so it wouldn't run down the street, but a little bit did get into a manhole cover that has electric and telephone. It appears there's probably less than two gallons, maybe between two and five gallons. Fuck.
