York County school closed after chemical spill

FORT MILL, S.C. – Another leak at Silfab Solar has caused Flint Hill Elementary School in Fort Mill to close Thursday.

Just before 8:30 a.m., York County officials confirmed a hydrofluoric acid leak occurred.

It is said to be contained within a secondary containment system designed to capture chemicals.

There is no health risk to the community.

However, the Fort Mill School District confirms that the school will be closed out of abundance of caution.

Parents and guardians are asked to pick up their students in the football parking lot starting at 9 a.m.

This comes two days after 300 gallons of potassium hydroxide was released.
