A small amount of diesel fuel may have entered a Woodmont Avenue storm drain during two separate fuel leaks in Bethesda this morning.
At about 8:10 a.m., Montgomery County Fire and Rescue workers arrived at the 7600 block of Woodmont Avenue near Old Georgetown Road and Edgemoor Lane for a reported fuel spill, fire and rescue spokesman Pete Piringer said.
Hazardous material workers and firefighters quickly contained a small leak from a Ride-On bus, but labored until shortly after 10 a.m. to control the gushing 200-gallon fuel tank of a moving van, Piringer said.
Firefighters are unsure what caused the leaks, Piringer said.
Would it have been easier if they stopped the van first? ;)
JustPooper told me yesterday of a call he had for AC at a funeral home. Anyone familiar with the processes of the blood preparation for embalming? I wasn't! I was stunned!
The blood drains directly into our sewer system! How can they do that?
