Hazardous Materials; INC#1004; 04:19PM; 724 E 60th St; http://bit.ly/2IoLQp3; Florence; A pallet of benzoyl peroxide (used for bleaching clothing) spilled in a business occupancy (one unit in a row-of-commercials). Initial teams isolated the area and denied entry. The chemical off-gassing had the appearance of smoke from a fire. LAFD HAZMAT found no fire, only off-gassing from the chemical. Thirty workers were evacuated from the business and adjacent businesses on either side. Other nearby businesses were instructed to shelter in place. The situation is static and there is no further public hazard. Watershed, LA County Supervisor, and LAPD will work with LAFD to contain and clean up the spill. All workers who evacuated were asymptomatic. No reported injuries. Nothing further; FS 33; Batt 13; South Bureau; Council District 9; BC13 E10 E21 E221 E233 E33 EM13 JT1 RA14 RA33 RA833 SQ21 T21 T33; CH7; 13; -Nicholas Prange
