385 gallons of heating oil pumped into basement of Massachusetts home after driver goes to wrong address

Hundreds of gallons of home heating oil were mistakenly pumped into a basement on Linwood Street in Medford, Massachusetts on Monday.

"The oil delivery driver pulled up to the wrong address, put 385 gallons of oil into a basement with no oil tank," said Medford Deputy Fire Chief Nicholas Davis. The incident triggered a hazardous material response.

Homeowner Dang Nguyen can't believe it. He says both his wife and brother-in-law were home at the time. They didn't know it was happening until they began to smell the fumes.

"He looked outside and see the truck in the front and he pumped oil in. And he come in and he talked to him, he said nobody tell you to come in and pump the oil here, why are you pumping," Nguyen said. "And he showed him the basement with all the oil."
