A few tense moments for people working at the Red Rose Tea building. It had to be evacuated just before one o’clock after a pressure vessel ruptured on the third floor computer room. Deputy Chief Mark Gillan tells CHSJ News, the vessel contains a fire extinguishing product that is an asphyxiant but the quantity of the product didn’t concern them that it would start moving through the building and make people drop to the floor.
Crews are still on scene (as of 3pm) ventilating the building and nobody was hurt.
