That resulted in 301 barrels of gasoline into Naylor's Run Creek.Representatives from the Upper Darby Township Fire Department, including Chief Nick Martin, Assistant Chief Rob Callahan, and Acting Fire Marshal J.R. Schultz, participated in the exercise, presenting and working through real-time emergency response scenarios and crisis management procedures.The sequence of events included identifying the cause of the leak and stopping it, notifying and evacuating residents in affected areas, coordinating the appropriate emergency response crews, and communicating critical information to the public.The Upper Darby Township Fire Department participated alongside personnel from Monroe Energy, MIPC, and representatives from several local and county agencies and organizations. Participants included Upper Darby Township Chief Administrative Officer Crandall Jones; Director of Community &amp; Economic Development Rita LaRue; Delaware County Emergency Services; the Upper Darby School District; Monsignor Bonner-Archbishop Prendergast; and Pennsylvania State Representative Gina Curry.The objective of the exercise was to strengthen interagency coordination, familiarize participants with emergency response procedures, practice real-world crisis management, and ensure that all involved agencies are better prepared should an emergency of this scale occur.Preparedness, communication, and coordination are essential to protecting our residents and keeping our community safe.</div></body>
