EL PASO, Texas -- All is calm now, but that wasn't the case Friday afternoon after hazmat crews were called to a chemical spill in east El Paso.

Fire dispatchers confirmed 17 small businesses in the 11400 block of Rojas near Lee Trevino were evacuated as a precaution.

A drum of a chlorine-type chemical was in the bed of truck when it may have come into contact with water, causing the chemical to overheat.

A UTEP chemist was called out to the scene to evaluate the situation.

No injuries were reported.
