The incident took place at approximately 11:30 AM, leading to the discovery of a 14-year-old individual with chemical burns on their hands. In response, the Lawrenceburg Fire Hazmat team was called to the scene, and the Emergency Management Agency (EMA) subsequently reached out to explosive technicians and specialized investigators for assistance.
