HUNTSVILLE, Weber County — Mountain Green firefighters responded to a chlorine leak at a water treatment plant in Huntsville on Friday.

Fire crews responded with a “full hazardous material response.” Firefighters were able to enter the area in full fire gear with respirators, and they determined the leak was small enough to not require chemical protection suits, the fire department said.
