Police and firefighter/paramedics discovered a trail of diesel fuel along Arthur Avenue from just west of Busse Road to Lively Boulevard.

Firefighters used OIL-DRI or another absorbent to cover the diesel fuel that leaked onto Arthur Avenue. An Elk Grove HazMat squad “HazMat 8” also responded to the scene.
