Lincoln Fire and Rescue responded to a hazardous materials spill at the former Goodyear building near 56th and Seward just before noon Tuesday afternoon.
LFR’s Nancy Crist tells KLIN News several hundred gallons of a flammable liquid spilled in a holding area inside the plant, which has been owned by Continental for many years. LFR arrived and immediately evacuated the employees. They also shut down any potential ignition sources within the building.
Crist tells KLIN there was no threat to the public and the spill was contained to the building. Crews were working to mitigate the spill and get it cleaned up. There were no reports of any employees needing medical assistance.
