At 0700 hours this morning, our Hazmat Team, OES Hazmat42 responded to a fuel spill in the 800 block of Pescadero Avenue in Tracy, CA. A semi truck ran over an object that punctured one of the saddle bag fuel tanks. Approximately 100 gallons of diesel leaked, with some product getting into a nearby waterway before our crew was able to secure the leak. The golf ball worked tremendously, as they always do in this kind of situation.

Actual Incident from the Ft. Worth Fire Dept. Oct 2016

Actual incident: A 1” natural gas valve leak behind a business on Sherwood Blvd in Baton Rouge, LA on 1-22-2018 was sealed by BR HazMat. There was 60 PSI coming out of the valve packing. They first pushed the FixStix epoxy putty all around the valve packing, that greatly reduced the pressure, then they wrapped the whole thing with one small roll of Stop-It pipe repair to complete the seal.

We used a Golf ball on a fuel tank rupture we had at a crash the other day. It worked great. Saved us a lot of time and opened up the roadway fairly quickly.
