A railroad fuel tanker car sprung a leak early Wednesday morning.

Hazmat crews responded to the CSX Rail Yard about 4 a.m.

A bad valve on the tanker is responsible for the highly flammable liquid leaking into a large puddle.

No evacuations were necessary and no one was hurt.

CSX said the air quality was safe.
