NORTH LOGAN — Emergency crews were called to North Logan on what was originally reported as a “mass-hazmat spill.” The hazardous material leak occurred around 2:15 p.m. near 3000 North 300 West.

Fire trucks and a hazmat crew responded after learning a highly flammable material aboard a FedEx truck was leaking into a gutter and storm drain.

The material was identified as type F organic peroxide, which is flammable at high temperatures. The truck was carrying around 3,300 pounds of the material, but only one or two gallons reportedly leaked.

Police and fire crews blocked off an area around the spill for several hours. A FedEx crew from Salt Lake were sent out to clean up the spill.
