HAMMOND - The Hammond Fire Department worked a chlorine leak on Tuesday on Blackburn Road, resulting in them temporarily issuing a shelter-in-place order to residents. Officials said they found a small leak around 9:54 p.m. at 711 Blackburn Road. No chlorine gas was detected offsite by air monitoring, but a decision was made to “shelter in place” residents downwind of the incident. Hazmat technicians isolated the leak and were able to completely stop it. The shelter-in-place was lifted after officials found no chlorine in the air nearby. No injuries were reported.
