Hazmat 13 works another "Pump off" on Route 295

  On 3/20/11 at
13:12 hrs Hazmat 13 was special called to assist Bellmawr FD at a Tractor Trailer accident on Route 295 Northbound at Exit 28.  The accident involved a tractor trailer carrying a non-hazardous load that struck the bridge supports and jack knifed. The passenger side saddle tan was leaking due to the axle being pushed into the tank.  Crews stopped
the leak using their vacuum leak kit, while they set up for a product transfer. Approximately 120 gallons of product was off loaded.  The Hazmat Unit went available within an hour.
