PUEBLO, COLO. -- Pueblo County Sheriff's deputies are investigating a hazardous material spill at the Pueblo Airport that resulted in 25 people showing up at Parkview Hospital complaining of illness Friday morning.

All 25 people had symptoms consistent with an exposure. They all work at Integrated Document Solutions at the Pueblo Memorial Airport Industrial Park.

As a precaution, all 25 are being decontaminated for possible exposure to an unknown chemical.

The Pueblo Fire Department and the Rural Fire District are on the scene, and the Pueblo West Fire Department is at Parkview helping the hospital staff.

A decontamination site has also been set up at the Pueblo Memorial Airport Park, which is empty and secure.

Officials have not ordered any evacuations.
