Pizza tray cleaning prompts Isle of Man chemical spill alert
Hazardous fumes from pizza trays that were being cleaned led to an evacuation following reports of a chemical spill.
Firefighters were called to a "small" spill in Victoria Road, Castletown in the Isle of Man at about 11:00 BST.
Homes were evacuated as a precaution and other residents were advised to keep windows closed.
The fire service said the pizza trays were being cleaned with a chemical agent in a van, causing "potentially reactive fumes" to be released.
The van had been parked behind a petrol station in the town.
Fire crews spent about an hour-and-a-half at the scene which led to the temporary closure of Victoria Road.
A cordon was put in place while the area was decontaminated.
The cordon has since been lifted and the road reopened.
