There was a small leak of sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide at Semefab’s plant on Eastfield industrial estate in Woodside. The company manufactures semi-conductors. The fire service was initially alerted to the incident when the firm’s fire alarm was activated. One crew from Glenrothes went to investigate but when they got there they asked for a second unit to attend. Then the firefighters requested the decontamination team from Methil as it became clear chemicals had been involved. Fire crews donned decontamination gear and breathing apparatus sets but the incident was being handled by the workforce itself. One crew is still there and has been laying down absorbent pads to soak up the spill.
