Chemical leak near Brantford Municipal Airport
Some Brant County residents were temporarily moved while emergency responders dealt with a chemical leak near the Brantford Municipal Airport.
Brant County OPP put out a tweet just after 4:30 p.m. Sunday afternoon, warning drivers of road closures in the Willowdale Street area near Kingsmount Crescent and Westview Avenue. The neighbourhood is just east of the airport.
Police say residents in that area were relocated to the Airport Road Community Centre.
OPP posted again at 5:16 p.m., saying the leak had been contained and the roads had reopened.
On Monday, a Brant county representative confirmed the incident involved an ammonia leak. The Ministry of the Environment later confirmed it came from a refrigeration business in the nearby industrial park. The ministry said its following up with the business to determine the cause of the leak.
They said the source was located and isolated and the business contacted a refrigeration service.
The county reported the leak to the provincial Spills Action Centre.
The Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development confirmed the incident was reported to them and an investigation is underway.
