UW-Madison Building Evacuated Due To Chemical Spill

MADISON, Wis. — A building on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus was evacuated Friday afternoon after several gallons of chemicals were spilled.

The Madison Fire Department responded at 3:48 p.m. Friday to a report of a chemical spill on the 12th floor of the Engineering Research Building, which is located across from Engineering Hall.

“The chemists heard a ‘pop,’ and they left the room and evacuated. Nobody was injured,” said Bernadette Galvez, spokeswoman for the Madison Fire Department.
