Residents in the area of Lake Montebello are being asked to shelter in place, after a chlorine spill at the Montebello Filtration Plant in northeast Baltimore.
Fire engines were seen blocking Hillen Road just north of 33rd Street.
Baltimore City Fire Department confirmed there was a chlorine spill that was reported "in a contained area at this time."
"Right now, there appears to be no threat to the community, however, those who live in the area or who are in close proximity, could periodically smell chlorine," said fire spokesperson Blair Adams.
However, the city's Office of Emergency Management just said area residents who are currently home should shelter in place, and drivers should avoid the area.
