Edgewater, FL - Volusia County Fire Rescue's Hazardous Materials team (HazMat) responded to a call with Edgewater Fire and Rescue and Edgewater Police Department on July 14th. A motor vehicle accident involving a pool cleaning vehicle resulted in a spill of approximately two-gallons of sodium hypochlorite and three-gallons of muriatic acid. The spilled chemicals mixed and created a reaction. Sodium bicarbonate was used to mitigate the reaction, and no injuries were reported.
