Urine forced the evacuation of a dozen units at the Brandywine apartment
complex in North Amherst, Massachusetts, on Wednesday night.
Apartment officials called police about an odor coming from one of the
12 units on Wednesday afternoon, Assistant Fire Chief Lindsey Stromgren
said.
When firefighters entered the apartment, they saw what appeared to be
chemicals being mixed or cooked on the stove. The state Hazardous
Materials Response team and bomb squad investigated after clearing the
building.
But police said on Thursday morning the "chemical" was actually distilled urine the tenant was using for medical reasons.
No charges are being brought, police said.
All of the tenants from other apartments were allowed back in at around
9:30pm.
The apartment where the incident was reported has been secured and no
one will be allowed in until the town's health inspector approves it,
Stromgren added.
