Bridgeview rollover and Haz Mat Box 11-13-13

This from Keith Grzadziel:

This morning at approximately 08:15 hrs the Bridgeview Fire Department was dispatched for a report of a rollover involving a tanker on W/B 95th Street near the Tri-State Tollway exit ramps. North Palos Battalion 8, who was in the area, arrived first reporting a tanker on it’s side. The driver was treated for minor injuries and was transported to an area hospital. Bridgeview Battalion 40 requested a Level I HAZMAT Box. Companies were informed that the tanker had approximately 8500 gallons of a gasoline mix product. A special request was made for 3 additional engines and the MABAS 21 Foam Trailer. Crews had to standby while a contractor off-loaded the product prior to the towing company uprighting the truck. Numerous additional agencies assisted with the incident.
