Crews battle gasoline leak at Valero Memphis Refinery
The Memphis Fire Department responded to a storage tank leak Monday
morning at the Valero Memphis Refinery on Mallory Avenue.
According to a Valero official, a gasoline storage tank developed a
leak early Monday morning. Gas leaked from the tank into a dyke and
onto the Valero property.
The Memphis Fire Department set up foam barriers in to contain the
leak. Riverport Road was closed between North Rivergate and Mallory
Avenue while crews worked to contain the leak.
A MPD official said the gas leak was not considered an environmental
problem because it was located in a containment area, although
firefighters remained at the scene during the clean-up to prevent the
spilled fuel from igniting.
According to Valero's website, their Memphis refinery processes
195,000 barrels of oil per day, and employs approximately 350 people. |
