Investigation Summary
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on July 29, 1991, Employees #1 through #8 reported for work. The employees were at their respective departments when they began to experience headaches, sore throats, and teary eyes. Sulfuric acid from a cracked battery that had been left to charge overnight had boiled over during the charging process and entered the building's ventilation system through a hole directly above the stairwell where the charging was being done. The City of Texarkana's Emergency Response Team was contacted for assistance. Employees #1 through #8 were hospitalized at Red River Hospital.
