PHOENIX — Dozens of Phoenix firefighters are working on a chemical spill at 36th Street and Broadway Road and have evacuated nearby businesses.

The spill at American Chemicals comes just two days after a fire on the premises. No injuries have been reported.

Deputy chief Chris Ketterer said containers of about a dozen chemicals have been compromised inside of the business.

Ketterer isn’t ruling out more evacuations.
