Fire and emergency crews handle the immediate danger. Cleanup begins only when responders say the scene is safe to enter, and the team asks what they found.
Barriers go up and the spread is stopped. The crew keeps people out and the job as private as the site allows.
Soaked soil, pavement debris and porous materials are removed. Hard surfaces are cleaned, and products are never mixed.
Waste is hauled and the owner gets a list of what was removed. The crew explains what to keep for the file.
