HAZMAT incident/chemical spill

(12/11/16)

At approximately 12:30, Bricksville Fire was toned out for a chemical spill/ HAZTMAT incident at the chemical processing plant in Bricksville. An employee accidently drove his vehicle into two barrels of an unknown substance. Bricksville Fire responded with Engine 325, Engine 326, Rescue 125, Tower 1 and Car 225. Upon arrival crews from Rescue 125 got their HAZMAT suits on and began to test the unknown chemical to see if it was safe enough to be near. After testing the chemical, it was found to be harmless and crews quickly got the driver out of his vehicle. Engine 325 was ready with a charged line just incase. This incident could have been very deadly but ended up to be a quick and easy save.
