A Dyfed-Powys Police spokesman said: “Dyfed-Powys Police along with partner emergency services were called to the scene of a chemical spill in Waterloo industrial estate, Pembroke Dock, at approximately 10.50 this morning.

"The Fire Service have set up a precautionary cordon at the scene whilst they deal with the spill, and police officers are assisting them at the cordon.”

A spokeswoman from Silcox Coaches said she was on the phone when the firefighters came in to evacuate them.

“They said it was a possible chemical leak,” she said.

“I saw three fire engines and a lorry cordoned off down the road. The firefighters were changing into their gear.
