Lynchburg, VA - Hazmat crews reported to Toledo Avenue
Saturday evening for a potentially dangerous fire.
First responders say a trailer carrying about 300
gallons of paint caught fire around 4 pm.
The trailer was parked near a storm drain, so crews say
they quickly contained the run-off to be sure no paint leaked into the water
system.
Utilities officials were on scene and said there was no
threat to the community's drinking water.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
