JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY -NORTH CAROLINA
Jacksonville Fire Department Battalion Chief, Ronald
Mabee, tells NewsChannel12 hazmat and fire crews were called to a small oil
spill in the city Sunday afternoon.
It happened around 5:15 p.m. at Precision Tune Auto Care
on Western Blvd. Mabee says an oil line at the auto shop ruptured and 50 to 100
gallons of oil leaked onto the property.
Officials say the line was disconnected and the spill
was contained fairly quickly. Oil did not escape the immediate area. Area storm
water and drainage systems were not affected.
Mabee says the spill was cleaned up around midnight.
