A 36,000-litre tanker carrying flammable liquid had overturned on the road and was leaking.

The emergency response consisted of :

– Establishing a wide safety perimeter upstream and downstream;

– Working with the other forces to coordinate a diversion route to ease the flow of road traffic;

– Setting up a foam nozzle (on standby);

– Monitoring the operations to remove the liquid from the other tanks;

The response ended at 11:35pm to everyone’s satisfaction.

Traffic was restored and no incidents were reported.
