News4Jax was told the rig was leaking only oil, but Jacksonville Fire-Rescue was proceeding cautiously because the vehicles hazardous materials signage said the tanker was full of hexene, a colorless gas that is considered highly flammable. At least a dozen Jacksonville Fire-Rescue units were called to the scene, including its hazardous materials team. News4Jax was told that another tanker would be brought in to offload the gas, but once firefighters determined the tanker was full of a cleaning product, that will not be necessary. Just after noon, two of three eastbound lanes were reopened, although the exit to I-295 remained closed to traffic until the tanker was righted and the scene cleared.
