SPEEDWAY, Ind. — The Indianapolis Fire Department was dispatched to the CVS Pharmacy at 2320 Cunningham Road in Speedway early Wednesday afternoon following a 911 call of a possible chemical exposure.
IFD said a registered patient went inside the CVS with an envelope that witnesses said produced a strong chemical odor upon opening it.
Management immediately noticed the smell and tried to figure out what it was.
Shortly after management began their own investigation into the chemical odor, a nurse practitioner began "experiencing symptoms consistent with chemical exposure."
Firefighters arrived on scene at 12:15 p.m. but the person with the envelope had left the scene.
Two CVS staff members were decontaminated at the scene and then transported to Eskenazi Hospital for further evaluation.
Following IFD's investigation, it was determined there was no cause for alarm or credible threat to the pharmacy. Meter readings for hazardous chemicals read zero, and there was no visual evidence of any spills, powder or air particulate.
At the suggestion of Marion County Health, CVS called a cleaning crew to help alleviate any concern among customers.
