(Okoboji)– Authorities say an estimated 20 gallons of unleaded gasoline spilled this (Friday) morning at the Casey’s General Store in Okoboji.
Chris Yungbluth of the Arnolds Park/Okoboji Fire and Rescue says a vehicle had been fueling up when the automatic stop function on the pump malfunctioned, causing gas to overflow on a cement area around the pump.
Firefighters put down an absorbent material to contain the gasoline due to concern over flammable vapors and a possible environmental impact.
Firefighters were on the scene about an hour.
No injuries were reported.
Yungbluth says it serves as a good reminder to stay at the pump while fueling.
