(Update 10:15-a.m.) The Atlantic Fire Department was called to what was initially described as a large gas spill this (Friday) morning, at the Casey’s General Store on east 7th Street. The call came in at around 8:39-a.m.  Firefighter Gene Schmeling told KJAN News the spill was actually only a couple of quarts at best. It occurred as a motorist was filling up their vehicle and wasn’t paying attention.

Crews put down peat moss to absorb the spill, and cleaned-up the mess.
