| Description: |
York Salvage Yard Fire Unified Command responders from Lewis Environmental, an oil spill removal contractor, launch boats to place boom on the Codorus Creek, March 4, 2026, as part of the clean-up effort in response to a building fire and associated oil spill that occurred at J&K Salvage in York, Pa., on February 25.
A boom specifically designed for pollution response is a floating, physical barrier, placed on the water to contain, divert, deflect, or exclude oil. Proper deployment involves use of mooring systems (e.g., anchors, land lines) and skilled teams and must be consistently monitored. Booms can be used in coordination with skimmers or other response actions to remove oil from the environment.
