Five TPD officers were exposed to an unknown substance and were taken to a local hospital as well as 11 civilians.

Two of those civilians were children.

Officials say one of the officers was assisting one of the children, which is how the officer came in contact with the substance.

None of the officers nor civilians had any symptoms and were in stable condition.

Lucas County Children's Services says the two children are out of the hospital in the car of a foster family.

Crews are not sure what the substance was, but are taking all the necessary precautions. 

The neighborhood is safe but TPD asks that no one leaves their house from Fulton Street to Collingwood and to stay clear.
