SCENE: Inflatable booms in the river to prevent the spread of oil
THERE was an oil leak last night (February 16) in a Somerset village.

The leak has now been sorted.
"We put inflatable booms in the river which prevented the spread of oil," said a spokesperson for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue.
"Two fire engines attended, plus an environment engine from Taunton. We worked closely with Wessex water and the leak has been sorted."
