A spill containment apron is made of a fluid-impervious sheet that forms a receptacle from which side flaps and end flaps extend. A plurality of straps having hook and loop fasteners at each end are passed under the sheet and extend on either side thereof. A plurality of magnets are included as part of the side flaps and end flaps. A drain valve is provided for the bottom of the receptacle. A pair of dams are disposed in the receptacle near the ends thereof. The apron can be folded compactly for storage and transportation, but can be unfolded quickly and attached easily to a leaking container such as a railroad tank car. The straps, magnets, and dams cooperate to minimize or prevent spillage of the contents of the receptacle.
