More than 1,000 gallons of heating fuel oil spilled at the former UConn campus n Torrington Tuesday morning and crews responded to clean it up.
The Torrington Fire Department responded to 855 University Drive at 8:31 a.m., found a large oil spill in the boiler room and worked to contain the spill.
Officials determined that more than 1,000 gallons of heating oil spilled into the drains leading out to the rear yard from the boiler room drain system because of a break in the inside piping system.
The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and a cleanup contractor were called to respond.
Officials said the oil did not extend into the rest of the building.
