One person was brought to the hospital following a chemical spill Thursday morning at Dickinson Farm on U.S. Route 202 in Granby, Massachusetts.
Granby Fire Capt. George Randall told necn affiliate WWLP that at least two chemicals spilled and mixed together, causing a reaction at around 9 a.m. The farm building was immediately evacuated.
Firefighters and police from Granby, as well as an Amherst hazardous materials team, and officials from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection all responded to the farm.
It was not immediately clear what chemicals had reacted, and the condition of the patient is not known at this time.
"When we identify materials that are beyond the scope of what local fire departments can handle, we call in the technical team. They have a higher level of training and they come into events like this and handle the remediation activity, cleanup, identification of chemicals," Randall said.
The farm is closed for the day as crews deal with the situation.
