A warehouse run by US Customs at Port Everglades was evacuated on November 8 after a forklift punctured a 55-gallon drum containing a flammable chemical, a fire official said.

The accident occurred around 11.15 am in the 3400 block of McIntosh Road. About 30 gallons of the unknown chemical spilled from the drum into the warehouse, according to the Sun-Sentinel.

The 10 people inside the warehouse were uninjured, officials said. Firefighters ventilated the warehouse and poured absorbing material on the spill before a private company cleaned it up.
