Hot Springs

On Sept. 16 at 2:07 p.m. Hot Springs Volunteer Fire Department was paged out for a semi accident with unknown injuries on Fall River Road. They responded with six personnel, rescue engine and light rescue truck. Once on scene they found the semi had heavy damage with a pretty serious fuel leak. Once they knew there was no extrication needed, firefighters stopped what was left of the leaking fuel and took care of the hazardous material problem. There were no injuries. They cleared the scene three hours later after the wrecker company had everything under control.
