Chemical incident closed road

Emergency services were called to an incident involving hazardous materials yesterday which closed a road in the south of the Island.

At around 11am fire crews went to a car park behind the fuel station on Victoria Road in Castletown. 

Aluminium pizza trays started to give off fumes and react with a chemical cleaning agent.

Two firefighters in hazmat chemical suits contained the materials and disposed of them safely before decontaminating the area.

The incident took an hour and a half to deal with before the road was reopened.
