Only about two to three gallons spilled onto the pavement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The Edinboro Fire Department put up a pool to catch any remaining leaks while they remediated the area, putting an absorbent material on what was left.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The company who owns the tanker is working with Erie Haz-Mat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Copyright 2026 Nexstar Media, Inc.
