Wheelock- Last night at around approximately five o'clock the Wheelock Fire Department was called to contain an oil spill. The spill was located on the Wheelock Bridge on Route one twenty two. Residents said they noticed a strange odor in the area.

 The oil was spread down most of the bridge, which forced the fire department to close off one side of the road. The oil covered only one side of the road therefore the clean up time was quick. The fire department used sand to absob the oil. Wheelock Fire Department claims at the time they did not know whose truck was responsible for the spill. They proceeded with caution and covered the oil immediatley. No one was affected by the oil. The oil was spread down most of the bridge, which forced the fire department to close off one side of the road. It is still unknown who is responsible for the spill.
