(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysuncoast.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.mysuncoast.com\/\">WWSB<\/a>) &#8211; On the night of Nov.14, a chemical fire broke out at an industrial facility on the 5300 block of 62nd Avenue North. The Pinellas Park Fire Department (PPFD) responded promptly and has contained the chemical fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Fire and hazmat crews located a refrigerated storage container holding industrial peroxide- and acetone-based materials. These chemicals are commonly used in manufacturing and were stored on the company\u2019s property in a controlled unit according to PPFD. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">PPFD said that as the container began to heat, it produced a visible plume and an odor. Firefighters applied water to cool the container, and because it was also a refrigerated unit, crews were able to bring the temperature down steadily. As the temperature decreased, the reaction inside the container slowed to manageable levels.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Pinellas Park neighborhoods in the area were advised to remain indoors due possible hazardous chemical concerns during the incident.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">One firefighter was transported to the Emergency Department in stable condition and was released. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">PPFD said that out of an abundance of caution, anyone who believes they were directly exposed or is experiencing symptoms should contact their healthcare provider. <\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2025 WWSB.
