Fuel Leak From Car Leads to Overwhelming FDNY Response

Dec. 22, 2013 By Christian Murray

A fuel leak from a red Toyota Corolla parked on the side of 47th Street between 43rd and Skillman Ave. led to at least 20 firefighters arriving on the scene to drain the car’s gas tank.

Several firefighters tipped the car on its side so they could get as much gas out of the tank.

Another unit was brought in with equipment to drain the car of remaining gas. There were no injuries.
