“Santa Monica Fire units were dispatched to a reported “Haz-Mat Level 2” located at 2700 Colorado Blvd. DBA “Lionsgate Pictures” On scene fire units investigated an unknown substance and determined that there was no threat to the public,” wrote SMFD’s Administrative Battalion Chief Danny Caldwell, at about the same time.
