Fire Departments from Nyack, Spring Valley, and West Haverstraw responded to a chemical fire at the Valley Cycle Shop, 139 Route 59 in Nanuet.  

They were joined by the Rockland County HazMat Task Force. 

After a few moments on the scene, the Fire Chief requested Emergency Medical Services to evaluate a person who inhaled fumes from the chemical substance.

The substance turned out to be insecticide, which spilled in the building. The small blaze was quickly extinguished, and the hazmat team set to work making the area safe.
