Firefighters in Trumbull were called to a loading dock at Kennedy Industries on 39 Lindeman Drive on Wednesday afternoon after spilled paint thinner mixed with gasoline residue and created fumes, according to the fire department.

Officials with the Trumbull fire department said the fumes created a vapor that traveled into the ventilation system of the building at 39 Lindeman Drive. Firefighters responded to the scene around 1 p.m.

No one was hurt, and fire officials said crews ventilated the building within half an hour.
