Spill from Shell Clyde refinery in Sydney
09 February 2012
Fire and Rescue New South Wales crews are trying to contain a spill from Shell's Clyde refinery in Sydney's west. Nine fire trucks were at the scene on February 9.
The spill was a petrol-based substance, polygasoline, according to a Fire and Rescue spokesman, who added that most of the liquid had been contained but that some had got into a nearby creek.
A spokesman for Shell said heavy rainfall resulted in the stormwater overflow system being unable to contain all of the rainwater, causing an overflow that contained oil.
