Train/Truck Collision
 
By Firefighter James Corbett
March 5, 2010
 
At 1230 hours the Potsdam FD was dispatched to a reported truck/train collision at 147 Maple Street. The collision took place at a private rail crossing leading to the Casella Waste Stream facility. Engine 49 and R-14 were en route immediately. Upon arrival it was determined that the truck driver had exited his vehicle and was uninjured. Members placed absorbent socks to contain a small fuel leak from the truck. We were requested to force entry to the cargo box of the truck to find the source of a liquid leaking from the cargo area. The truck was loaded with produce and restaurant supplies, the liquid was determined to be coming from a ruptured pail of soy sauce. All units were back in service at 1326

Units: Engine 49, Driver Richard Fenton R-14, FF Robert Robar
Mutual Aid: Potsdam Rescue Squad, NYSP, SLC Sheriff, Border Patrol, Martins Towing
