There is some sort of HAZMAT situation going on at a school near 10th and Galbert.The Louisville fire chief is already on scene and they've set up a command post. Multipule EMS units staging nearby. Traffic is on LFR F-1

They are requesting the school board to respond. The school is the "HOT ZONE"

I'm glad it was just a gas leak, from what I was hearing it sounded more serious.

Wait until someone drops a mercury thermometer.

No, but they are still around... a few years ago they were still using mercury in some classroom lab routines. Don't know about today though.

And mercury was so much fun to play with when I was in school too.
