BUSINESS EVACUATES DUE TO LEAKING TANK
The  Whippany and Cedar Knolls Fire Departments along with mutual aid from the Morris Township Fire Department and Morris County Hazmat team responded to the corner of Horsehill Road and East Hanover Avenue for the report of a leaking propane tank.  Approximately 40 employees were evacuated to a business nearby the facility until the scene was rendered clear.  Firefighters were able to secure the cylinder by placing an "overpack cap" on the damaged portion and re-secured it to the transport truck which was then transported and escorted to Suburban Propane. Suburban Propane had no connection to the cylinder but accepted it. No injuries were reported.

August 5, 2009

The Whippany Fire Department's Hazardous Materials Team was requested by the Morris Township FD to assist with an over turned Tanker Truck carrying gasoline.  Fuel was leaking from the truck which caused the evacuation of nearby businesses, a Hotel ,an Apartment complex, and spilled into the Whippany River.
