Three people doing maintenance work at an Orlando Utility Company power plant were taken to a hospital Wednesday morning after they came in contact with sulfur dioxide, officials said.
Crews were called to the Stanton Energy Center around 10 a.m. Wednesday, Tim Trudell, a spokesman for the utility told the Orlando Sentinel.
The workers became sick and the plant’s emergency response team was called in and then Orange County Fire Rescue responded, the newspaper reported.
The three workers were taken to the hospital with injuries that are not considered life threatening.
Officials said the cause of the hazmat situation was not immediately known.
