Refrigerated Liquid Nitrogen Leak on Purchase Parkway

Units responded to the 37 mile marker on the Purchase Parkway in response to a call from Kentucky State Police regarding a semi-tanker leaking nitrogen and forming a vapor cloud in the roadway.  Units arrived on scene to find the tanker leaking a small to moderate amount of liquid nitrogen onto roadway and a vapor cloud approximately 100 feet in diameter.

Units performed thawing techniques to free a frozen leaking valve and the leak was stopped in approximately 20 minutes after fire department arrival.
