Eugene Springfield Fire Haz-Mat Team Responds To Garbage Truck Fire (Photo) - 10/26/24

Eugene, OR.  Eugene Springfield Fire is on scene of a vehicle fire on Interstate 5 in the south bound lanes over Franklin Blvd in Eugene.  Firefighters from ESF were dispatched to a reported vehicle fire at 11:08 AM on October 26th.  Engine 4 from 5th and Centennial in Springfield was the first to arrive finding a garbage truck well involved in fire.  During the fire fight, crews noticed the diesel tank had become detached and was leaking.  Due to the fire’s proximity to the Willamette River, diesel leak, potential hydraulic fluid leak and potentially hazardous materials in the garbage, ESF’s Haz-Mat team from the Valley River station was called to the scene assessing and preventing further environmental impacts from the incident.  ESF is being assisted by OSP, ODOT and Northwest Haz-Mat.  Expect delays in the area.
