A hazardous materials incident resulted in an evacuation alert for residents in Orcutt Wednesday.
At 1:24 p.m., Santa Barbara County firefighters and an HazMat team responded to the 3800 block of Telephone Road in the rural Santa Maria Valley.
A produce tank was reportedly leaking Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) prompting an evacuation of anyone to the east of Telephone Road to Dominion Canyon.
Firefighters on the scene determined the response was due to low H2S levels and release.
As of 3:00 p.m., the Santa Barbara County Fire Department cancelled the evacuation alert and all incoming units were cancelled.
