A Freon detection unit at a building on Quantico gave a false alarm this morning prompting a HAZMAT response.
Some 40 to 50 people who were inside the building at the time of the alarm were evacuated, but all were let back inside the building after officials deemed it was safe, according to Quantico Assistant FChief Palermo said.
Fire and rescue crews from Stafford County and Quantico responded to the call while crews from Prince William County helped to “backfill” a Quantico fire station while crews were on the scene, according to Quantico fire and emergency services assistant chief Dwayne Palermo
Rescue crews spent one hour and used standalone gas detection devices to check for leaks and none were found.
No one was injured and a work order has been placed to fix the malfunctioning alarm system.

Fire and rescue crews from Prince William and Stafford counties were sent to Quantico this morning for a report of a HAZMAT.
We’re working to find out more information about what is happening on the base. A Quantico spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
Emergency crews were told to use MCB 3 to gain access to the HAZMAT area, one of several roads located on the base.
