Fire and rescue responds to 'haz mat' incidents
Fire and rescue personnel recently responded to two incidents involving hazardous materials.
According to Department of Fire and Emergency Services Chief Philip Myer, one of the incidents happened at the Bloom supermarket in Marshall on June 12.
A "significant" freon/refrigerant leak occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m., when a half-inch refrigerant line from the compressor broke, Myer said. The leak caused a large "mist plume."
Haz-mat technicians from Fauquier County fire and rescue stations entered the building and secured the leak approximately 45 minutes after the initial call. They identified the material that leaked as R-22 refrigerant.
Representatives from the Health Department and service technicians also responded to the scene, Myer said.
The second incident occurred June 13, in the area of Catlett Road and Elk Run Road. At approximately 8 a.m., a resident called 911 and reported something was leaking out of a railroad car after the engines left.
Fire and rescue personnel responded to the scene, and determined that approximately 4800 gallons of calcium chloride had spilled.
"These [railroad] cars are on the side track for a VDOT contractor who spreads the liquid on gravel roads for the summer. It absorbs moisture reducing the dust," Myer explained. "The product is also used on roads to melt ice/snow in the winter."
Representatives from Norfolk Southern Railroad also came to the scene, along with a cleanup crew, Myer said.
The spill did not pose a hazard to people, Myer said.
