Three employees at the Wort Hotel were hospitalized and the building evacuated after the wrong cleaning chemicals were inadvertently combined in the building’s basement. Hazmat units were dispatched to the scene shortly after 9:00 am. The toxic mixture was limited to a single five-gallon bucket. Of the three employees sent to the hospital, two were quickly released while one was held for treatment.
