A loading dock at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center was evacuated Monday afternoon as Aurora Fire Rescue crews and the South Adams County hazardous materials team investigated a spill that sent one person to the hospital.
Fire Lt. Ben Pfeiffer said employees at the Aurora resort reported that chemicals had spilled into some of the drains. A loading dock on the north side of the resort was evacuated as crews cleaned up the hazard.
The chemical was sodium hypochlorite, Aurora Fire Rescue said in a tweet a little after 5 p.m. The dock was turned back to the Gaylord staff.
One person who was feeling ill was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Two others were treated at the scene.
