(Des Moines, IA) -- A Des Moines Fire Department is receiving praise from the city for its work dealing with a chemical spill. The city says the Saylor Township fire department's HAZMAT team responded to a chemical spill in a cargo trailer at a shipping facility on NE 2nd Street in early February. The city said on its Facebook page the team did a great job setting up a perimeter, deploying a charged line, and identifying the chemical. The city didn't say what the chemical was.
