KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City, Mo., fire department hazardous materials crews stopped a valve leak in a ten-thousand pound ammonia tank just after 10 p.m. Tuesday at the Belfonte plant in KCMO.
One person suffered a minor injury, but was treated at the scene and offered help to crews to stop the leak, according to a fire department spokesman.
Crews had to turn off two valves to stop the one valve from leaking.
