CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) — Some 30 gallons of used cooking oil has been spilled over several streets in a Rhode Island city, leaving behind the smell of french fries.
Cranston Deputy Fire Chief Keith Newman told WJAR-TV that the soybean oil was kept in 5-gallon containers that apparently fell off a truck Monday. Firefighters found the containers in four spots around Cranston.
The cooking oil was spilled along an entire block of one street, a mess left for environmental officials to clean up.
Newman told The Associated Press that his clothes smelled like french fries after he got back to the fire station.
