Tanker spills ammonia: "Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Longview hazardous materials crews Monday evening cleaned an anhydrous ammonia spill near a busy intersection.
Firefighters responded to a chemical spill call at 7:21 p.m. at Texas Best Smokehouse in the 3300 block of Eastman Road one block north of Interstate 20, according to Longview Fire Department Capt. Andy Parker. A tanker owner by Airgas of Waxahachie leaked some five gallons of the fluid, which released a pungent smell, he said.
Hazmat crews cleaned the spill by about 9:05 p.m., Parker said. No injuries were reported, though firefighters evacuated the restaurant.
No citations were issued."
