30 workers evacuated after chemical spill in Bridgeview, Illinois

A spill Tuesday afternoon at a chemical plant in southwest suburban Bridgeview, Illinois, sparked a massive cleanup, but caused no injuries. Firefighters responded to a call at a chemical wholesaler just before 2 p.m. Firefighters evacuated 30 employees from the building and discovered the source of the spill: four 55-gallon drums of hydroxylamine sulfate, a mild corrosive that can be dangerous if inhaled. The cleanup occupied firefighters for nine hours, and company personnel even longer, but no employees or firefighters were injured.
