Biological Hazard in USA on Thursday, 11 December, 2014 at 05:04 (05:04 AM) UTC. State of Florida Area: Maitland Fire Department City: Maitland The Maitland Fire Rescue treated about 40 people Wednesday in a possible case of food poisoning at an office building, officials said. Deputy Fire Chief Will Watts said the office was having a large catered event when the employees started getting sick around 3:30 p.m. More than 15 people were hospitalized and were listed in stable condition. Theres a significant number of patients that have symptoms that are consistent with a stomach illness, Watts said. Dain Weister, spokesman for the Florida Department of Health, said people were vomiting and had diarrhea. Its a pretty big outbreak to have so many people become sick in one location, he said. Its not too often that we have so many people sick. The health department will look for the source of what made people ill. There could be an issue with the food itself or how it was handled or prepared. The investigation could take several weeks, he said. The office building, Maitland Colonnades, is located at 2301 Lucien Way. A representative from the building could not be reached for comment. (PROBABLE ATE FISH WITH FUKUSHEMIA JUNK IN IT)
