CLEVELAND — On Wednesday afternoon around 3 p.m., members with the Cleveland Fire Department, among other departments, were called to the corner of West 150th Street and Lorain Avenue for reports of a HazMat situation.
According to officials, the investigation began when reports were called in of a gasoline smell in the sewers. Officials later discovered an apparent leak from an underground storage tank at the Shell Gas Station in the area.
Clean-up crews responded to the scene and removed the gasoline from the tanks, as well as excavate them from underground.
Cleveland Fire and the Cleveland Division of Police closed off Lorain around the time of the incident.
Officials tell 3News that representatives from Ohio EPA, Northeast Ohio Regional Sewers, and Enviroserve were all on scene to monitor the situation.
