The discovery of two leaking 55-gallon barrels in the foundation of a previously burned down residence in the Town of Monroe resulted in a hazmat incident Tuesday night.
The contents of the barrels at 94 Seven Springs Road were later determined to be sodium bromide/nitric acid, according to fire officials.
The Orange County Hazardous Materials Response Team was called in along with the West Point Fire Department�s decontamination trailer. The Kiryas Joel Fire Police closed off Seven Springs Road and ambulances responded to the scene.
