Fire department cleans up diesel spill*

The Drumheller Fire Department was called to O'Shea's around 5:30 p.m. to clean up a diesel spill. It appears a diesel tank in the back of a pick up was overfilled, and the truck's driver said the tank wasn't capped properly. The truck was parked on an angle right above a storm drain.

Fire Chief Bill Bachynski said he had to take the (drain) cap off and check, and none of the diesel really got into the system. He estimates about ten litres of diesel leaked out. The truck was moved to level parking at the side of the lot. The driver said the truck belongs to her boyfriend, and she didn't realize the slip tank wasn't closed properly. The back window and entire box of the truck, including some garbage bags of workclothes, are now coated in diesel from the fuel spraying while the truck was moving.

RCMP also attended the scene, but no word on whether the driver faces penalties.
