All-clear after fumes inside state lab cleared

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Fire-Rescue's hazardous materials team responded when a power failure at the state lab inside the Duval County Health Department allowed a buildup of sulfuric acid fumes.

JFRD send 12 units and the building on West 6th Street was evacuated until the power was restored and the fans came back on. At that point the fumes cleared by themselves.

There were no injuries, and the building was reopened to employees and visitors.
