Four employees were exposed to an unknown substance, which caused them to have a medical reaction. The employees are in stable condition and were transported to a local hospital. Out of an abundance of caution a Hazmat team is on location attempting to identify, isolate, and decontaminate the area where the exposure occurred. No other information is available at this time. Conroe Hazmat, Woodlands Hazmat, Montgomery County Fire Marshal’s Office Hazmat, and Porter Fire Decon units are on the scene along with multiple ambulances. DPS Dispatchers told units that the Montgomery County Jail is closed and all prisoners need to be transported to New Caney or The Woodlands. The latest transported is a female deputy being taken to St. Luke’s. Porter Fire Department is setting up a decontamination unit on Hilbig.
