Smoke from Wixom building that prompted hazmat response was not toxic

WIXOM, Mich. – A large plume of smoke coming from a Wixom business that sparked the response of a hazmat team early Monday morning turned out not to be toxic, police said. 

Crews shut down Pontiac Trail at Wixom Road for the investigation at Korex Corporation after the smoke was seen coming from a building just after 2 a.m. 

"Firefighters and technicians were able to obtain preliminary air quality reports and were able to verify that the smoke plume was not toxic in nature," the city said in a statement. "At approximately 8:30 a.m., Wixom firefighters and Hazmat technicians were able to locate the source of the plume and determine, definitively, that there was no danger to the public."

According to Korex's website, the company packages a wide variety of consumer, industrial and institutional products.
