GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Hazmat teams were called to Bellin Hospital in Green Bay Monday morning after two workers in a basement lab started coughing and having their eyes irritated.
Lt. Shauna Walesh of the Green Bay Metro Fire Department says crews were called to the hospital at 744 Webster Ave. around 10 a.m. They quickly determined that the hospital’s safety mechanisms kept the irritant contained to the lab and no evacuation of the hospital was needed.
“For the people that called it in, it was irritants to the eyes, and it could cause a little bit of coughing. None of those people were treated, taken to the emergency room. Symptoms resolved when they got out of that area,” Walesh said.
