About 500 litres of a highly corrosive disinfectant detergent spilt after 8:00pm (AEDT) at the McColls Transport depot in Altona North, forcing 20 people to evacuate. The chemical is used for killing bacteria in cooling towers and is dangerous to the environment. The Environment Protection Authority has been called in and fire crews are monitoring the next stage of the clean-up. Commander Frank Besanko from the Metropolitan Fire Brigade says the liquid has been contained. "We're cleaning up with the assistance of management," he said. "There's a private company that comes in and takes the waste away for it to get treated, so it can come back in the environment in a safe manner."
