| IV. NARRATIVE |
|
I received a call that an excavator had accidentally caught fire while clearing and burning brush on a housing lot being developed at the subject location. The fire resulted in the spilling of about 10 gallons of diesel fuel. Fortunately, due to the amount of water used to extinguish the fire, most of the oil stayed on the surface and didn't penetrate the ground so I was able to recover the majority of it with sorbent material. No other receptors were impacted. No further action by the Division of Response Services is anticipated at this time.
