The Salt Lake City Fire Department cleaned up a minor chemical spill Friday at the University of Utah.

Two security guards checking an open door at the Henry Eyring Building about 7 p.m. noticed a chemical smell, said fire department hazmat specialist Mark Bednarik.

The pair’s eyes began burning, Bednarik said. They called their supervisor, who called 911.

Crews found glycol, spilled from the heating and air conditioning system, and cleaned it up. Bednarik said the guards’ symptoms cleared up after they left the building.
