GOLDEN, Colo. — About 85 to 90 people were evacuated after a sulfuric acid spill Thursday afternoon at the Coors canning facility in Golden.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office said the canning facility is about a mile away from the brewery.
No one was hurt, but the people working at the canning facility were evacuated as a precaution. The brewery was not impacted.
Hazmat crews were determining how much acid spilled, assessing the danger and making sure it gets cleaned up safely, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Sulfuric acid is a common cleaning agent used in canning facilities, the Sheriff's Office said.
It wasn't clear how long the cleanup will take, the Sheriff's Office said. It could take hours or days, according to a spokesperson.
All roads in the area were reopened by Friday morning.
