KUSA — Nine people were taken to the hospital after Denver Fire says they inhaled an “unknown chemical” at a Waste Management facility.

This prompted a full hazardous materials team response at 5395 N. Franklin Street in Denver.

Denver Fire crews were unable to locate source of hazard but reported that there is no further hazard at this time.

Firefighters say they turned off the power to the building and turned it on again to find the source of the chemical.

A second team will conduct another investigation to determine what the chemical was and where it came from, according to Denver Fire.
