Vancouver's hazmat team was busy this afternoon after a fuel spill at a gas station on Marine Drive at Granville.
Battalion Chief Terry Nikolai says the call came in at about 12:30 that a fuel delivery truck spilled 100 litres after a mechanical malfunction.
He says there was a sump on site that they believe captured all or nearly all of the gas.
Nikolai says today's hot weather actually worked in their favour.
"Well there is always some danger of a spark , possibly a discarded cigarette but the spill area was fairly small, and on a day like this, the fuel does evaporate very quickly."
Nikolai says a pump truck has since removed all the spilled fuel from the sight.
He adds a reprsentative from Chevron and another from the transport company were at the scene.
