Fire officials say two nearby construction workers and two police officers were treated for breathing problems. Authorities say a firefighter suffered heat exhaustion.
Dannon spokesman Michael Neuwirth says a diluted form of peracetic acid, stored in a tank, came in contact with an unknown organic substances and vapors escaped. Neuwirth says the reaction is under investigation.
