Jet fuel spill at Brunswick Landing cleaned up

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • April 9, 2025

Officials at the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority say they have finished cleaning up a 55-gallon jet fuel spill at Brunswick Landing. The spill happened at around 1 p.m. Monday, according to a release issued by MRRA Executive Director Daniel Stevenson. Jet-A fuel, a kerosene-grade aviation fuel, spilled on a paved surface adjacent to a building containing snow removal equipment. Stevenson said on Tuesday afternoon that cleanup had been completed and the MRRA is awaiting water-testing results from DEP. The spill happened after a pallet of fuel containers being transported by a forklift slipped and toppled over, causing the fuel drums to open.
