AMHERST, N.Y. (WKBW)
Crews had to clean up nearly 100 gallons of diesel fuel
after a spill in Amherst.
Authorities originally believed ice fell from the ceiling
onto a semi parked at the loading dock of Kohl’s on Transit Road and pierced
its holding tank. But later first responders determined the driver hit
something as he was pulling his rig into the parking lot.
Around 100 gallons of fuel spilled. Fire crews had to use 50
bags of oil absorbent clay to soak up the diesel.
The State Department of
Environmental Conservation spearheaded the cleanup efforts.
