SAN ANTONIO — A hazmat unit responded to the scene of a possible toxic vapor leak Monday at a downtown dialysis center.
First responders were called to the DaVita Rivercenter Dialysis clinic in the 1100 block of North Main Avenue around 6:45 a.m. after several employees said they felt nauseous and their eyes were “itching and burning,” according to San Antonio Fire Department Battalion Chief Wesley West.
The employees told officials a busted water pipe could have been the source of the alleged spill.
One of the employees received medical treatment, but was not diagnosed with any type of poisoning.
