Monroe Fire Protection District hazmat crew focuses to remove grease in creek

BLOOMINGTON – Monroe Fire Protection District hazmat team members were called to assist Bloomington City Fire Monday on a grease spill around College Mall Road.

A truck picking up used grease at restaurants in the area developed a leak spilling its truck load on the roadway including a nearby creek.

Firefighters placed large absorbent boom socks and pads in the water limiting its spread so it could be cleaned up from the water.
