No one was hurt during a chemical spill on the MU Campus last night.

At 8:06 p.m. Wednesday, Columbia firefighters were called to a building on 6th Street for a hazardous materials spill.

Firefighters say a container ruptured and spilled about a half gallon of materials on the floor.

No one came in contact with the materials, and it wasn't producing gasses.

The lab was closed overnight and crews will check again Thursday morning to make sure its safe for students to work.
