(KSL News) -- Crews were called to Research Park in Salt Lake this afternoon to respond to a chemical spill.
Brian Bingham, Witness: "Pretty much a mad dash, a hurry, kind of a quick run. Everybody out. I hear there's something spilled, everybody leave, everybody leave."
It happened at 420 S. Chipeta Way. Officials say, somehow containers carrying certain types of acids broke, allowing the chemicals to mix.
The mixture caused a cloud of orange smoke, and forcing patients and researchers to evacuate of the building. Firefighters say the chemical mixture was potentially life-threatening. No one was injured in the incident.
Investigators are still trying to find out exactly which chemicals were mixed.
