WESTON -- Five Broward County firefighter-paramedics and a Weston family were under quarantine today after they were exposed to a powdery substance that had been sent anonymously through the mail. Initial testing of the substance did not show it to be on Broward County's list of hazardous materials, but further testing was being done at a Miami-Dade County laboratory. "We're not sure at all what we're dealing with," said Todd Leduc, spokesman for Broward County Fire-Rescue. |
