The Carroll County operations center first received a call
at approximately 9 a.m. this morning with a report of a small chemical spill on
the second floor of Eaton Hall.
At 9:06 a.m. emergency units were dispatched from the Westminster,
New Windsor, Reese fire departments, and the Carroll County Hazmat response
team.
Campus officials later reported, “A minor laboratory
chemical spill occurred in Eaton Hall this morning. Local authorities
immediately responded and quickly determined that this was not a life
threatening situation. Cleanup is currently in progress. As a precaution, Eaton
and Lewis Hall will reopen on Monday morning for regular business hours.”
The first units arrived on scene at 9:10 a.m. with
Westminster chief 3-1 in command. Upon arrival, firefighters evacuated the
building. At that time the Carroll County hazmat response team monitored the
building and evaluated the situation and determined that there was no danger to
the public.
According to Westminster fire department officials, the
incident involved a small accidental spill involving 3-Heptanone which had
spilled down an elevator shaft while being transported by cart.
One person involved in the incident was medically evaluated
on the scene by paramedics, but not transported to the hospital. There were no
injuries.
The building was returned to McDaniel at 11:15 a.m. for
building repairs and minor cleaning. Firefighters and equipment remained on the
scene until 11:30 a.m.
