Crews have responded to a fire at a building near Riverside Hospital in the 2600 block of W. Central.

The fire went to second alarm before it was put under control.

Firefighters say a crew was welding near the building when they came in contact with an air conditioning unit. Some freon gas from the air conditioner was released.

A HazMat crew was called in to check out people near the scene. Four civilians have been decontaminated, but they did not need medical treatment at a hospital.

One person suffered flash burns and was taken to the hospital, though the injuries are minor.
