A motor vehicle accident causes a small gasoline spill. This incident is classified as Level _____.

This incident is classified as Level I because it involves a small gasoline spill resulting from a motor vehicle accident. Level I incidents are typically characterized by minor releases of hazardous materials that pose limited risk to the environment or public health, and can usually be managed by first responders using standard operating procedures.

In this case, the spill is small and likely contains a manageable quantity of gasoline, allowing responders to control and clean it up without the need for specialized resources or large-scale evacuation. Level I incidents often do not require coordinating with additional agencies or specialized HAZMAT teams, as they can be effectively handled by trained personnel equipped to respond to minor hazardous material situations.

Higher levels (Levels II, III, and IV) would involve larger spills, significant safety threats, or complex incidents requiring additional resources and inter-agency cooperation, which would not apply in this scenario.
