Virginia Beach, VA – Sprinkler system contains HazMat fire at business

July 17, 2015 viking210

The Virginia Beach Fire Department HazMat teams responded to three separate HazMat incidents Thursday.  Around 2 p.m., fire crews were dispatched to a reported commercial fire at a business in the 2700 Block of Sonic Drive.

Crews found smoke showing from the warehouse area of the business that contained cleaning chemicals. The fire progressed to the ceiling, and sprinkler heads in the building activated to contain the fire. The fire involved cleaning solvents (mineral spirit) and floor wax. HazMat crews monitored the business and surrounding area to ensure the water run-off and atmosphere was not hazardous.

Fire officials said the building suffered minor to moderate fire damage.  There are no hazards to area businesses and no one was injured.  The fire was ruled accidental and unintentional.
