GREENSBURG, IN — No one was injured when two tanks carrying anhydrous ammonia overturned on State Road 3 between US 421 and the State 3/46 bypass in Greensburg around Noon Friday.
Upon arrival on the scene, the firefighting command ordered a 100-foot standoff distance and requested assistance from the Decatur County Emergency Management Agency.
A drone was deployed to perform a scene survey and aerial reconnaissance.
It was determined a bent valve resulted in a small liquid leak that turned into gas once outside of the tank.
With firefighters on standby, the leak was contained by a technical specialist with assistance provided by HazMat-trained Greensburg firefighters.
The Greensburg Fire Department was assisted by the Decatur County Sheriff’s Office, the Greensburg Police Department, Decatur County Emergency Communications, Decatur County EMA, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Inc., and Sweets Towing.
