Montgomery County Hazardous Materials crews helped clean up a chemical spill at the Carderock Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Bethesda on March 14.

The two MCFRS Hazmat crews were dispatched to the Naval Surface Warfare Center in the 9500 block of MacArthur Boulevard at 11:27 a.m., according to Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman Beth Anne Nesselt.

They cleared the scene by 1:15 p.m., she said in an email.

Navy spokesman Ed Zeigler said the building is a research center. There were no injuries from the spill, he said.

The facility’s mission includes research, development, testing and evaluation, analysis, acquisition support, in-service engineering, and logistics and integration of surface and undersea vehicles and associated systems, according to the Naval Surface Warfare Center’s website.
