Hazmat Call

(oil leak)

FM 1314 @ Crystal Creek

4,200 gallons of oil leaked into the "Creek" from a 12' inch pipe that had busted. It took the combined efforts of numerous departments, and 40 personal to contain the leak and keep it from reaching the San Jacinto River. The oil floated 4.5 miles down stream before it was finally contained. The pipe had been leaking for about 7 hrs before the fire department was notified. 

The River Plantation Fire Department would like to thank all of the Agencies and Personal that helped bring this incident under control.
