At approximately 11:52 a.m. yesterday morning, Tuesday, January 23, the Hot Springs Fire Department responded to a request for assistance from the Garland County Department of Emergency Management concerning a release of polyethylene glycol (antifreeze) at Kay and Nevada Streets. The accidental release of the compound resulted when a cooling line at a local business was severed, allowing the chemical to run into a drainage line and adjacent ditch.
Quick action by firefighters temporarily halted the chemical from draining into the local watershed. Crews from the Hot Springs Street Division soon responded to a fire department request for several truckloads of sand, which were used to dike a drainage ditch to impound the runoff from the spill.
Hot Springs Fire and Street personnel assisted at the scene until approximately 2:44 p.m.
