Via the Franklin Fire Dept:
"At 8:56AM on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, the Franklin Fire Department received a fire alarm at 38 Forge Parkway. The first arriving Franklin Fire Department units were advised of a small fire which self-extinguished and a chemical leak by the building occupants.After consulting with a chemist on site, fire companies investigated and found a smoke or vapor condition in a process room within the facility.The building was fully evacuated, and a Tier 2 Hazardous Materials response from the Department of Fire Services was requested. Upon the Hazardous Materials Team arrival, a Tier 3 response was requested bringing 45 Hazardous Materials Technicians to the scene.The Hazardous Materials team made entry and was able to safely mitigate the hazard. There were no injuries during this entire event due to the great coordination among multiple agencies. The scale of the response was partly based upon the reactivity of the chemical which was determined to be Sodium Potassium.This was an isolated incident confined to one room inside the business.The incident was brought under control by 2pm and all crews cleared by 3:30pm.Thank you to all of the agencies that responded including the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services State Hazardous Materials Team."
