Chief, 282. Go ahead. I went ahead and notified the EMA. I'm not sure if you're going to need them, but I did make them aware. Becky's going to start monitoring your channel. The guy had just fueled up, so he's got a 30-some-gallon tank, he said. He said it's all over the highway, so if someone would throw a cigarette out or something, it's...

Two Central Dispatch. Good, Chief. It is a 35-gallon fuel tank just filled up. It is free-flowing over the hillside off of Route 7, off the shoulder. Okay. Chief, are there any drains or anything nearby? There's no...

Drain's here. It's going to be going over the hillside. It's got a lot of wooded area before any waterways. Squad 12.5 arrived at Barnsville Hospital. 1014. The engine went to the station 28, 28 in route. 14.

It was a full tank. It is free-blowing. 35 gallons. I'm going to try to get it stopped, but I think EPA at least will need to be notified. Okay, Chief. I'll get a holder back to you see what you want to do. Chief, too, you have engine one in route. Do you need engine free?
