AUBURN — A chemical spill at a cannabis store on Riverside Drive forced the closure of several roads Thursday afternoon.

No injuries were reported, but one person was arrested as police, fire and rescue crews responded to the scene on Riverside Drive along with a hazardous materials team.

No immediate information was available on who was arrested or what they were charged with.

Auburn police said there were no threats to public safety as hazardous materials crews contained the scene.

Officials were first called out to Cure Cannabis at about 2:20 p.m. Almost immediately, police and city crews began closing down nearby streets. Riverside Drive from Dunn to Broad was closed as was a stretch of Mill Street from Riverside Drive to Broad Street.

The street closures caused traffic snarls along Broad and Mill streets. One man said he came to the area in advance of meeting his daughter at her bus stop when he ran into backed up traffic and emergency vehicles pouring in the area.

Roughly an hour after emergency crews arrived, additional manpower was still arriving at the scene. A platform was set up on a closed portion of Riverside Drive and large blue barrels were seen being hauled out of the containment area.

A crew from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection was at the scene shortly after 3 p.m.

City officials said the streets that were closed were expected to remain closed while the spill was being cleaned and the matter investigated.
