Fuel Leak from Vehicle at Caroster Mill Facility, Richmond, VA

Summary: A significant fuel leak occurred at the Caroster Mill Facility, located at 11 Hull Street in Richmond, Virginia. Multiple fire units, including Engine 17, Engine 1, Engine 6, Truck 5, Safety 1, and Battalion 3, responded to the scene after reports of gas pouring from a punctured hole at the bottom of a vehicle's tank inside the facility's garage. The leak resulted in a substantial amount of fuel spilling onto the concrete floor and into a nearby drain, prompting a request for additional absorbent materials and the dispatch of a hazmat team. The incident was managed by containing the spill, damming the drain, and coordinating cleanup with the property manager and vehicle owner. Some units were released as the situation was brought under control, and the hazmat team was tasked with final mitigation and cleanup.
