Wagga firefighters respond to truck roll, fuel spill at Tarcutta changeover station

Emergency services, including police, firefighters and paramedics, were called to the changeover station on Sydney Street in the township soon after midday.

A Fire and Rescue NSW HAZMAT crew from Wagga were working to contain the spill from the truck's tank after it appeared to roll through a barrier, zone superintendent Stewart Alexander confirmed.

"Firefighters will recover as much [of the fuel] as we can and render the scene safe," Mr Alexander said.

Rural Fire Service crews were also on scene assisting, and the spill was estimated to be a few hundred litres.

A NSW Ambulance crew responded to the incident after being called shortly after 12pm, a spokesperson said, and treated a man believed to be aged in his 60s for a minor injury to his arm.

It appears the incident stemmed from the truck's handbrake not being engaged, causing it to roll, a spokesperson for NSW Police said.
