November 24, WRAL 5 Raleigh – (North Carolina) Two contractors working at Cree, Inc. in Research Triangle Park in Durham, North Carolina, were transported to the hospital after coming into contact with hydrochloric acid November 23, a Bethesda Volunteer Fire Company chief said. Crews were called to 3026 E. Cornwallis Road for a pipe burst around 3 p.m., but the issue was upgraded to an acid spill, the department said. The contractors immediately washed the acid off in nearby showers, which are located throughout the building as a precaution. They were taken to Duke University Hospital as a precaution. The building was evacuated when hazmat crews arrived, and the pipe that was leaking the acid was immediately shut off. Source: http://www.wral.com/news/news_briefs/story/8676689/
