Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood PD, FD, and the Bergen County Department of Health Services Hazardous Materials Unit responded to a diesel fuel leak in front of 421 Eastgate Road, Ridgewood on the afternoon of Wednesday, 11/30. The drive train of a privately owned sanitation truck hauling leaves from the Borough of Hillsdale tore loose from its mounting brackets and punctured an 87 gallon diesel fuel tank. An undetermined about of fuel spilled onto Eastgate Road requiring action from FD personnel and a contracted hazardous waste clean up crew. A portion of Eastgate Road was closed for an extended period until clean up efforts were completed. No injuries were reported in the mishap.
