ATLANTA — Atlanta Fire Rescue says crews have contained a leak from a tanker hauling hydrochloric acid that created a gas cloud overnight.
Captain Cortez Stafford told Channel 2 Action News that firefighters were called to 3181 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway around 10:30 p.m. Thursday.
At one point, the leak started "forming a gas cloud" and crews evacuated the parking lot of the truck stop.
“The vapor cloud was very big. At one point you couldn’t see the actual truck that was leaking, and the cleaning company was offloading most the product so it’s a lot safer now,” Stafford said.
There were no reports of injuries.
