Squad 1 and Brush 1 responded to a reported diesel fuel leak at the Speedco in Carmel Church. A box truck made a wrong turn, driving over a curb and storm drain, rupturing it's "saddle" fuel tank. Approximately 60 gallons of fuel spilled from the torn tank into the parking lot. Crews contained the remaining leaking fuel and cleaned up the rest with absorbent material.
