Semitrailer spills hazardous bleach in Aurora

Around 30 gallons of concentrated bleach leaked from a semitrailer in Aurora on Tuesday.

Authorities said some of the hazardous chemicals leaked into nearby storm drains.

The Aurora Fire Department responded around 10:25 a.m. on April 7 to the 2700 block of Beverly Drive. Upon arrival, the crew found a punctured container inside the semitrailer.

“Fire crews quickly contained the spill and recovered the (hazardous) material from catch basins,” the department said in a post.

The container was secured to prevent further leaking. A private contractor assisted the crew with the chemical cleanup.

Authorities say there is no current danger to the public.
