Testing is currently being conducted in an Illinois fire station to determine levels of asbestos, said the Southtown Star on June 1, 2008.

According to the article, a small amount of asbestos may have been disturbed during renovation work to a water-damaged wall.

That asbestos was reportedly removed immediately, and air samplings and other tests are being conducted by to determine asbestos levels in the station.

The Star said the Illinois Department of Public Health has requested a wider portion of the building, which includes four administration offices, be roped off while asbestos testing and removal is done.
