UPDATE: Shelter in place lifted, CFD issues 'all clear' after 'major ammonia leak' at Chicago factory
The Chicago Fire Department lifted a shelter in place order for some West Elsdon residents after a"major ammonia leak" at an ice factory near Chicago's Midway International Airport Thursday resulted in street closures and health concerns, officials said during a press conference.
When officials arrived, crews smelled the ammonia and after investigating issued a"level two hazmat" due to the impacts ammonia can have on the respiratory system, Chicago Fire Commissioner Annette Nance-Holt said during the update. Emergency crews then went door-to-door, providing wellness checks and asking residents to remain inside and shelter in place as the smell continued to waft through the air. According to Nance-Holt, the decision was made to not evacuate the geographic area"based on the amount of people."
