Two people were hurt after hazardous materials were spilled at a veterinary hospital in North San Diego County on Saturday, according to the Oceanside Fire Department.
OFD received the call around 12:45 p.m. reporting that an employee at the Mission Animal and Bird Hospital had dropped a vial of isoflurane, commonly used for general anesthetic. Medical officials said it’s safe for use in small doses but can be toxic in large amounts.
When firefighters arrived, they cordoned off the area where the spill happened and shut down the ventilation system in the building to limit the spread of the toxic gases.
