Early Tuesday morning, emergency crews, including the Milwaukee Fire Department and Hazmat teams, responded to a situation near Maitland Park. The Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office had been called to a domestic violence incident. During their response, deputies found several barrels that appeared to contain battery acid. This discovery near South 13th Street and West Boden Court, close to Mitchell International Airport, led to a hazmat operation. The Fire Department assisted in identifying and securing the substances, according to TMJ4.
Crews observed deputies and firefighters moving white buckets between a hazmat truck and a nearby wooded area, indicating the removal of unidentified materials. The exact nature of these materials has not been disclosed. Officials are still gathering information about the situation at Maitland Park, and further details are expected as the story develops, as reported by WISN.
