Firefighters rush to Central Wellington building after chemical reaction

a year ago by thevoyagekayaking to c/offtopic

Fire crews were called to a chemical reaction at a building in Central Wellington.

I'd love to know what actually went wrong here, and what products they were using.

It's remarkably easy to get smoke and flames when you screw up mixing resin, entire buildings have been lost due to mistakes like that.

Was there any more info released about this? Or will we never know the full story?

There might be an incident report, if I have some spare time I'll go looking for it.

I found this:

screen shot of incident report F4198690, wellington central, classes as Hazardous Substance

On this page: https://www.fireandemergency.nz/incidents-and-news/incident-reports/incidents/?region=2&day=Wednesday

I guess the link will not work for long since it literally just says Wednesday in the URL and not a specific date, but the incident number is F4198690.

Is there a way to find more information about it?

I'm not sure if anything else will be made public.
