A Texaco truck hauling gasoline overturned and flooded sewer lines on 48th Street and Correctionville Road. Fire Chief Charles Hochandel said, “The firemen followed catastrophe and hazmat procedure set up beforehand for just such an occurence.”
Four families were evacuated because of the gas in the sewer lines, and cars were rerouted through side streets, as there was also fuel on the streets and in ditches.
The situation remained serious for two hours until the gasoline was washed away, and flushed out of the lines.
Nicely done, Marcus, though I am still squinting at that headline. Good organization.
