Hazardous materials crews are working to clean up the mess left behind when the roof collapsed over an oil storage building in Pulaski over the weekend.
 
The roof over Conny Oil on Commerce Street collapsed Friday night, Assistant County Administrator Robert Hiss said.
 
The building was used to store motor oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid and other items, Pulaski Fire Marshal Chip Hutchinson said. Some of the fluids leaked when the roof caved in on storage containers, he said.
 
Hiss said there is no danger to the public, and none of the fluids have seeped into the ground.
 
"I think it's well under control," he said.
 
He said hazmat crews were called to help move the materials today before the building is taken down.
 
"We want to bring them in to make sure it doesn't escalate," he said. "We have no indication that it would."
 
Hiss said the county has gotten about 10 reports of damage caused by the weight of the snow, including damage to carports, canopies and gutters. No injuries and no serious damage to homes have been reported, he said.
 
Conny was one of two businesses to report damage, he said.
 
Hiss said residents and business owners should be aware of the potential for the increased weight to cause damage. Older roofs, lightweight metal roofs, and flat roofs are more susceptible to damage, he said.
 
However, he said, people shouldn't try to shovel their roofs because the increased weight of a person could cause immediate damage.
 
People who notice any sagging, cracking or separation in a structure should notify their local building inspector or fire marshal's office, Hiss said.
