Hazardous materials scare in Crown Hill

Fire trucks and emergency response vehicles swarmed Crown Hill June 11 when a resident put in a hazardous materials call.

A resident who had recently purchased a home near 80th Avenue Northwest and Northwest Mary Street found a number of mysterious bottles, Fire Department spokesperson Dana Vander Houwen said.

Neighbors said the house may have been used for cooking meth under previous owners, Vander Houwen said.

She said the bottles turned out to be bleach.

"It's bleach," she said. "Were' taking care of it, and nobody was hurt."
