A post office just south of the Tampa International Airport terminal was reopened this afternoon to employees and the public after material inside a package, which cause two employees to become sick, was intent to not be hazardous, officials said.
Tampa Fire Rescue Captain. Lonnie Benniefield said, The first floor of the post office had been evacuate at around 11:20 a.m. after the employees became nauseous and reported being light headed. The employees in the second and third floors were set aside in place, Benniefield said.
A post office employee, identified as a 60-year-old man, was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in stable condition, Benniefield said.
Firefighters got a sample of the substance and had it analyze. It was determined to have a minute level of hydrocarbon, which investigators found out wasn't hazardous, Benniefield said.
Two Airport Rescue and Firefighting units and the hazardous materials unit from Tampa Fire Rescue replied to the post office on Bessie Coleman Boulevard.
It took 90 minutes to examine and recognize the substance. No flights from TIA were affected, Benniefield said.
