Chemical spill ‘under control' at Gage Products in Ferndale
February 13, 2014
FERNDALE — Extremely cold temperatures helped the Ferndale Fire Department in their efforts to contain a chemical spill at Gage Products, 625 Wanda, at around 10 p.m. Tuesday night.
Fire Chief Kevin Sullivan said that 390 gallons of ethanol from a 500 gallon tote were spilled on the property and into the sewer. This also caused steam to billow into the air. A Gage crew placed “pigs,” a tubular absorbent device, to prevent any further drainage.
“An emergency cleanup crew has been dispatched to clean catch basins and sewer,” Sullivan said. “Everything is under control at this time. I have notified Michigan DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) and other parties required by law.
