Downtown diesel
Stellarton firefighters and town works employees are cleaning up a long diesel spill in the town.
Stellarton Fire Chief Dwight Campbell said the spill stretches from Riverton through town to the TCH 104 on ramp at North Foord Street.
Crews are spreading sand on the spill and are opening and closing Foord Street in sections as they work on the spill.
Goes up the TCH straight out past the exit to Mount William. Feel bad for the driver, that's an awful loss.
got to love how they park there truck right on top of the spill
How did it happen?
I just want to commend the volunteer fire fighters and the town for the fast response on the clean up.
makeing more work for themselves having to clean the oil off thet truck tires every time they move it from parking right on the spill
Goes out through eureka-Hopewell as well.
Re Why's comments: Contrary to what you might believe, people bltch and moan on websites all the time.
Only in Pictou County would people comment on website articles and complain and poke fun at some guys doing their job......unbelievable...or maybe not! Get a life....mabe if you could read you wouldn't just focus on the pictures!
THE TRAIL IS ALL THE WAY OUT PAST HOPEWELL TOWARD 'S LORNE... CALLED D.O.T BUT NOTHING WAS DONE OUT BEYOND THE TOWN LINE I GUESS DIESEL DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME EFFECT'S ON THE ENVIORNMENT IN THE COUNTY AS IN TOWN!
This is to WOW and Fraser they have to block both lanes to stop traffic so they don't get run over,because if you only block one people still go through.
i get they had to block traffic but whatever happened to reflectors and vests and Have people standing and directing traffic like most people would do
well, simply put they park the truck like that to protect workers from moron drivers who blow through emergency scenes because they're too busy being distracted by something else and are not paying attention to the road.
It happens more than you think.
I say good on them for doing everything they can to protect themselves.
As for the diesel, it takes a lot to ignite diesel. Unlike gasoline vapours diesel's flash point is MUCH higher and it is a much less volatile fuel
