DALLAS — A bakery product manufacturing plant was evacuated Thursday night after a chemical spill, officials say.
Dallas Fire-Rescue was dispatched to the 10700 block of Miller Road around 6:37 p.m. regarding a reported ammonia spill. When firefighters arrived on scene, they found the leak coming from a large tank housed inside the facility.
Approximately 25-30 employees were evacuated prior to DFR arrival, officials say. Due to the large parking lot around the facility, none of the nearby small businesses in the area were evacuated, fire crews say.
It is unknown at this time how much ammonia spilled from the tank, but the tank was shut off and controlled by the HazMat team around 8 p.m., officials confirm.
There were no injuries reported related to the incident. The facility was ventilated and turned back over to building representatives, crews say.
