Firefighters responded to a hazardous materials call at around 3:15 p.m. on the 29500 block of Sand Canyon Road, near Sierra Highway, according to Fire Department spokeswoman Leslie Lua.
“We were responding to a report of about 100 gallons of material that was spilled and there was a report of a static issue as a result of the spill,” she said.
