Narrative:
Firefighters were called to the PDQ gas station on Fish Hatchery Road for a large gasoline spill near one of the pumps.
The store manager told Engine Company 4 the spill occurred after a customer set the nozzle to fill their gas tank and walked away, leaving the pump unattended.
The manager didn’t have enough absorbent powder, known as Oil Dry, to manage the 10-gallon spill himself. Firefighters spread their supply of Oil Dry across the wet concrete. The store manager would later clean it up once the fuel was fully absorbed.
