In Tromsø, Norway, a significant area in Breivika was evacuated due to a hazardous leak of 200 liters of the flammable substance resin.
The police quickly cordoned off the area and evacuated nearby buildings as a precaution.
By 10:00 AM, the fire department had managed to seal the leak and began the process of cleaning up the spilled resin.
Two individuals were examined by ambulance personnel after inhaling fumes, but no injuries were reported.
Although the immediate danger has been mitigated, a large section of the area remains closed off until it is deemed safe by the fire department.
The situation is being closely monitored to determine if the safety zone needs to be expanded.
