"Once on site, CFR crews isolated the area and conducted air monitoring tests to ensure air quality returned to safe levels and below the permissible exposure limits," Wood said in a press release. "(They) cleared the scene by 11:38 a.m."

Wood says the cause of the incident was deemed unintentional.

"CFR reminds the public to use caution with cleaning chemicals and to never mix chemicals unless a manufacturer’s label specifically allows for it," he said.
