A chemical fire at the Anheuser-Busch facility in Van Nuys forced evacuations on Saturday, authorities confirmed.
The fire was initially reported by employees of the facility, located at 8250 N Woodley Avenue, around noon, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The first crews to arrive noticed a partially extinguished blaze involving what the department described as a large container housing an unknown chemical.
After the fire was completely put out, crews discovered that the chemical was about 10 gallons of Hydrogen Peroxide.
Hazmat squads were then sent to the location to assess the spill and monitor the air quality.
As a precaution, the area was evacuated. As of 2 p.m., there’s no word whether the area was cleared.
No injuries were reported.
