OC children's hospital says no hazardous conditions found after multi-agency response in Orange

ORANGE, Calif. (KABC) -- A report of a "potential hazmat concern" prompted a response from multiple agencies Friday morning at a hospital in Orange.

"Earlier today, we initiated a precautionary response to a potential Hazmat concern in a non-patient area of one of our buildings," Children's Hospital of Orange County said in a statement. "After a thorough evaluation, authorities have determined there are no hazardous conditions."

Additional details about the nature of the incident were not disclosed.

Personnel from at least three local fire departments -- including Anaheim, Orange and Huntington Beach -- responded to the scene near the intersection of La Veta Avenue and Main Street. Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff's Department were also dispatched to the scene.

Video from AIR7 showed several first responders wearing hazmat gear outside the hospital, which is adjacent to Providence St. Joseph Hospital Orange.

Spokespersons for those agencies did not immediately respond to ABC7's requests for comment. However, a statement posted to the Orange City Fire Department's Instagram page said a hospital staff member had received an envelope with an unknown white powder.

"Ultimately, only two patients were transported to the hospital," the statement said.

It's unclear if the two individuals were taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.

"There have been no injuries or impact to patient care, and operations continue," the statement from Children's Hospital of Orange County said. "We remain committed to maintaining a safe environment for everyone we serve."
