At
approximately 3pm, the duty crew from station 16 was alerted for a
potoleum spill at the intersection of Route 13 and Main St. Engine
1(running out of station 16) responded with 18B and 3. The crew arrived
to find a truck utilized to haul box containers that had a failure with
the PTO gear which caused a rupture of the hydraulic line, spilling
approximately 20 gallons of fluid on the roadway. Not only that, but it
also then cause the loader portion of the truck which is an rather large
swing arm to then elevate in the air. This now put the truck over the
height restriction of the overhead railroad bridge, resulting in the arm
striking it. The spill was contained using absorbent blankets and corn
cob absorbent. The railroad company was contacted to inspect their
bridge and the scene was returned to city police.Story By: B Records

For as long as I can remember I've seen trucks barely making it under that bridge by inches.This does not come as a surprise.
That's not a real emergency.
You lack of knowledge on these subjects proceeds you.
