Police and firefighter/paramedics received a report that gasoline was “flowing all over the place” and flowing into the street. Firefighters responded with a HazMat Level I response.

A passerby hit the “kill switch” before firefighters arrived, but firefighters were still working on stopping the flow at about 6:00 a.m.

The gasoline flow was apparently occurring for an unknown amount of time, and gasoline did flow into sewers.
