Monitoring a HAZMAT in Chicago for a garbage truck that dumped its load at one of the city incinerators and set off the radiation detectors at the facility (750 N Kilbourn, west side incinerator). Dept of Energy is now on the scene, the truck has been isolated and the driver is being checked out by EMS. They also requested that the crew that was on the truck be held at their yard office (Higgins/Nagle) for evaluation and questioning.

I will check local noon news here shortly to see if they have picked up on it.
