More than 80 litres of fuel was spilled across a Vernon parking lot adjacent to Highway 6 on Tuesday morning, but crews made sure it was sopped up quickly.
Vernon Fire Rescue Services and city utilities arrived at a parking lot in the 2600 block of Highway 6 following reports of a vehicle fuel tank breaking down and leaking.
“Crews worked together to contain the spill with the use of a vacuum truck and absorbent materials,” the City of Vernon said in a press release.
