Engine 130 and Rescue 136 were dispatched to I-81, Exit 29 off-ramp for a Tractor Trailer leaking fuel onto the roadway.
Upon arrival, found that the truck had proceeded to the Petro Fuel Center garage, where it was leaking diesel fuel onto the parking lot. Apparently, the truck had been leaking fuel across the county, up Interstate 81 from the area of Exit 5, continuing to Exit 29. Multiple agencies were notified to assist with stopping the truck, apparently the driver was unaware of the leakage.
Members on scene laid down an "Oil-dry" type of containment to control the spread of the fuel already on the asphalt, while a contained was placed beneath the truck to contain further leakage.
The truck was driven into the garage at the fuel center for repairs. Apparatus on scene cleared the scene and returned to station.
