Terrigal Fire Station had a busy day responding to five calls for assistance across the local area:
• 4 × Fire alarm activations
• 1 × Spillage / HAZMAT incident
At approximately 2:17pm, while returning from another incident, our crew was flagged down by members of the public regarding a truck that had collided with Wamberal Bridge. The impact caused an estimated 350 litres of diesel and hydraulic fluid to spill from the truck, resulting in Ocean View Drive being closed for around three hours.
With assistance from Berkley Vale HAZMAT 228, Gosford Fire Station 304, Central Coast Council, and the NSW Police Force, crews worked to contain and clean up the spill, render the area safe, and minimise environmental impact. Once complete, the incident was handed over to local council.
A big thank you to all agencies involved for the strong multi-agency response, and to the public for their patience during the road closure.
