Irondale Fuel Spill

Irondale Fire Department

Around noon today, Irondale Firefighters responded to a diesel fuel spill in the 100 blk of 21st Street North. A fuel truck was filling the diesel fuel tanks at the city shop when one of the tanks overflowed, spilling 50-100 gallons of diesel fuel.

Chief Davis commanded the operation to try and stop the fuel from making it to the local streams. Working in over 100 degree heat, Irondale Firefighters moved quickly through several blocks to stop the spread.

Jefferson County EMA and the Salvation Army responded to the scene, also.

Great work by Irondale Fire and Jefferson County EMA prevented a huge ecological mess.
