17 people injured in Doral chemical spill. Firefighters stopped the leak
Dozens of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue crew rushed to a Doral chemical spill Tuesday afternoon that injured 17 people, two of whom were hospitalized, firefighters say.
Around 5 p.m., fire crews received the emergency call of the spill inside a building in the 10200 block of Northwest 19 Street, near Miami International Mall, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said. The block where the spill unfolded consists of several warehouses.
The spill occurred in a shared semi-truck depot behind two cargo and freight transportation companies, Yusen Logistics and Dux Logistics, and J&C Tropicals, which transports fruits and vegetables. It’s unclear which company the spill was connected to or which ones it affected.
Over 30 units were deployed as firefighters made their way inside, found the source and began to work it. As of 6:40 p.m., the leak was mitigated, with firefighters staying on scene to ventilate the area.
