A Texaco gasoline truck recently topples over spilling gas all over 48th Street and Correctionville Rd.

This gasoline spillage caused many problems as the gas flooded into sewer lines in a 2 block radius. Four local families were forced to evacuate their homes to protect them from the sewer-line gas.

The clean up took around two hours until all the gas was flushed away. Fire Chief Charles Hochandel says: “The firemen followed catastrophe and hazmat procedures set up beforehand for just such an occurrence.”
