Florida Hazmat Teams Set Up Emergency Air Quality Monitoring
July 29, 2017
An Escambia County (FL) Hazmat team set up air quality monitoring on the Florida side of the state line Saturday morning due to a chemical plant fire in Atmore.
The fire at Sunbelt Chemicals (click here for the latest update) sent a potentially toxic smoke plume into the air, prompting the evacuation of nearby Alto Products Corp. A shelter in place and stay indoor order was issued for Atmore residents in an unspecified area around the plant.
There were no reports of any hazardous readings on the Florida air quality monitors.
