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

Weber Fire District Captain Rick Cooper said nobody was exposed to the gas and no injuries were reported.

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.

Crews were able to get the leak under control by isolating and shutting down chemical tanks, and the chemical fumes dissipated.

It was previously reported that one person was injured. The latest information is that nobody was affected by the chemical leak.
