Member or civilian injuries?

I was listening from work in Philly, so I didn't catch everything. At one point command reported PAR with one missing, we got busy and I never heard anything further on it. Any after action reports from the area?

After the evacutation special hazmat teams entered to check for fumes and unknown gases.
When the levels went to a safer level firefighters were allowed back in to finish the job. All equiptment and firemen had to be deconed before any contact with anyone outside. I did not hear what the gas or fumes were. 4 firefighters were taken to Milford Memorial Hospital. I think at this time all have been released. It seems that the fire was in one of the labs on site. I will post any other information I get.
