GLENDALE HEIGHTS, Ill. (AP) – Residents of a Chicago-area apartment complex are back home after an ammonia leak forced them to evacuate. The Arlington Heights Daily Herald reports the 40-unit complex in Glendale Heights was evacuated for about three hours Monday night following the ammonia leak at a nearby manufacturing plant. Authorities were notified just after 9 p.m. Glenside Fire Protection District officials said no injuries were reported. Firefighters traced the leak to an outdoor ammonia tank at a powdered metal manufacturing plant. Fire officials said the apartment complex was about 250 feet downwind from the business. The plant was unoccupied at the time.
