The fire prevention inspector is investigating but officials have determined the incident was a minor chemical spill inside a lab in D building, not an explosion.
“The incident was minimized to a single patient that was located by EMS and fire and (the patient) was treated and transported to hospital for observation and treatment,” said Platoon Chief Gary Mosburger.
The cause of the chemical spill remains under investigation but the fire department has turned over the incident to Fanshawe College security.
