Masters HAZMAT is on the scene along with Huntsville Fire Department at a convenience store on Highway 75 just south of Highway 19 in Huntsville. Highway 75 is closed. It is believed somehow a gas pump malfunctioned spilling over 2000 gallons of gasoline into the roadway, ditches, storm sewers and creeks. Dams have been set. It is unknown how long it will take to contain the fuel and clear the roadway. It is expected most of Monday.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
