PROJECT INFORMATION: Earlier today, a strong fuel odor was reported on the B2 level of the RMNC parking garage.

The leak is currently being cleaned up, and crews are ventilating the building to clear the air.

PROJECT BENEFITS: This response ensures the removal of hazardous materials from the facility and restores indoor air quality for all building users.

IMPACT: Occupants may continue to notice a fuel smell as the air is flushed. These smells are expected to dissipate quickly.
