Fuel Leak At Brookshires In Emory

At 6:45 pm, the Emory Fire Department worked a fuel spill at Brookshire’s in Emory, leaking out of a 55-gallon drum. Emory fire units and personnel responded to the scene to find a truck that had leaked approximately 55 gallons of fuel from the entrance to the parking hole. Emory Fire quickly placed a dam from where the fuel was running and laid absorbent down to prevent any damage. They requested Rains County Emergency Management to the scene and the Fullers Hazmat team due to the amount of fuel. They power-washed the parking lot to prevent more damage to the asphalt parking lot.

Thank you to Fullers Towing and Recovery for coming out for hazmat and H&F Wrecker for taking possession of the vehicle. Also, thank you to Emory PD for coming out to ensure no one came near the hazard while we responded.
