00:04At approximately 0930 this morning our units were called out here to the 15,200 block of
00:10Newsboy Circle. Initial call came in as a hazardous material incident. Our initial
00:15crew got on scene and was able to make access to the area. We have a 55 gallon drum outside
00:20of the business to the rear. The 55 gallon drum was already there. The employees came in this
00:26morning and noticed that it seemed to be heating up and possibly off gassing. They
00:31called 911 right away, came out here. The information we received is that the
00:35gallon, the 55 gallon drum possibly had an employee accidentally put some unknown
00:39chemicals into it that caused this reaction to happen. Right now our hazmat
00:43team is working on identifying what that additional chemical that was entered into
00:47the drum was and from there once we figure that out we'll come up with a
00:51mitigation plan for the incident.
