The incident happened on Monday morning, Dec. 4, when a cement truck caught on fire on Route 9 in Croton-on-Hudson near Croton Point Avenue, according to the Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department.
The blaze happened just north of a separate car crash that the department had already been responding to, resulting in a quick response from firefighters.
After quickly putting out the fire, crews realized that a hydraulic line had been damaged during the incident, causing hydraulic oil to spill onto the road and into catch basins leading to a nearby river. Firefighters then began containing the spill and minimizing the impact on the river, according to the department.
The response to the fire and oil spill took around an hour and 20 minutes in total.
