According to the spokesman, mould and mildew remover fluid had been decanted into a bottle that had previously contained descaler, which caused a chemical reaction.

After advice was sought, the fire service used one breathing apparatus cylinder to create natural ventilation, the spokesman confirmed.

The fire service left at around 5am and the incident was passed on to Environmental Health.
