The team was called out at about 6:30 p.m. to assist with a diesel leak on a semi truck located at mile marker 269 in the eastbound lane on Interstate 94, which is about 9 miles east of Jamestown.

Firefighters requested sand from the North Dakota Department of Transportation to absorb the diesel. Approximately 35 gallons leaked from the semi’s punctured saddle tank.
