Roseboro Fire Chief Lee Coleman is dealing with an unusual problem – repeated hazmat calls for chicken parts dropped in the road.
Coleman says trucks coming from a food processor are dropping the parts as they travel from the plant, WRAL reports.
The result is apparatus responding and staying tied up at calls – sometimes lasting hours – for an easily preventable mess. And while the trucks are on scene, his volunteer firefighters are missing work and pay.
His hope is calling attention to the problem will spur the plant to do a better job transporting the chicken parts.
