GOODYEAR, AZ — Goodyear Fire Department officials say 15 people have been taken to a hospital for treatment after being potentially exposed to an unknown substance in a warehouse.
Emergency crews were first called to an industrial building near Bullard Avenue and Yuma Road Thursday morning for reports of an “unknown odor” coming from a forklift battery inside the warehouse.
After an investigation, it was determined the odor was from an overheated forklift battery.
The forklift was removed from the building and employees were able to return.
Officials say 30 people were treated at the scene and 15 people were taken to a hospital in stable condition to get checked out.
