Peoria Fire and Rescue was called to assist the Bartonville Fire Department after the discovery of several suspicious containers near a local business Thursday afternoon.
Crews responded to SC2 Inc, at 6409 w. Smithville Road around 4 p.m. Officials say four 1-gallon jugs were found near the property. The jugs contained an unidentified brown liquid.
Because the containers were near the Peoria Airport, portions of the area were blocked off as Peoria Hazmat crews were called in to assist of the removal of the liquid, which was determined to be low hazard, and likely some type of diesel product.
Police confirm there was no threat to the area.
A portion of Smithville Road was closed for about an hour and a half.
