The Alexandria Volunteer Fire Department was busy Tuesday night, rescuing a dog that had gotten stuck in a storm drain. At approximately 3 p.m., a woman notified the town highway department that her dog, Maggie, was stuck in a culvert on Cole Hill Road. Desperate to rescue the animal, she was ready to go into the culvert to try and save it herself.

The cleanup of an estimated 1,000 gallons of an unidentified petroleum-based product will continue throughout the day today. The discharge of the oil contaminate was discovered Tuesday night along Kimball Brook, just off Route 106 in Gilmanton.
