It is more than one hour into this hazardous-materials (Haz-Mat) incident at the Hallmark Greeting Cards corporate headquarters at 2500 McGee- Crown Center- Kansas City-MO..This continues to be an active incident- with additional investigators called in.
At least one- possibly more- persons were exposed to an unknown substance when they opened a package just delivered before 10 am this morning.
That Hallmark employee and the delivery driver- both males- are undergoing decontamination and medical treatment at a "Haz-Mat command post on 27th Street" near Grand.
The Hallmark employee suffered "a rash" and "welts" on his "arms-face and chest." He may have also began to experience some breathing difficulties. Unknown if the delivery driver was affected.
--------------------
Just after 10:30 am- KC-MO Fire companies were called to the 9100 block of North Evanston- where a fire "in new construction- reported out" with a burn victim also reported.
Pumper 14 arrived 7 minutes after the dispatch and confirmed the "lacquer fire" out- but "the burned victim was taken to (a) hospital by private vehicle."
The extent of that person's burns are unknown- but a fire investigator was sent to the scene.
