On October 20, 2011 at approximately 9 pm the Worcester County Special Hazards Response Team was requested to respond and assist the Pocomoke Volunteer Fire Company with a fuel spill in the parking lot of the Upper Deck Restaurant in Pocomoke, Maryland. 

Upon arrival, a fuel spill was observed in the south parking lot covering a large area.  The vehicle responsible for the spill was not on location. 

 Absorbent was placed on the fuel spill which mitigated the incident.  Members of the Hazmat Team and firefighters remained on the scene for approximately 2 hours. 

 Anyone with additional information on the vehicle responsible for causing the spill is asked to contact Matthew Owens at 410-632-5666 or by email at mowens@wcfmo.org
