DuPont leak closes Ohio park
NORTH BEND, Ohio (AP) — Fire officials say a gas leak at a DuPont plant just outside Cincinnati has caused an evacuation at a county park and golf course.
Miami Township Fire Chief Steve Ober said Wednesday that monitors show the leak of a gas containing oleum was contained to the DuPont property. He says there is no danger to people in the area. He says officials believe little gas was released.
Shawnee Lookout Park and its golf course were evacuated at about 2 p.m.
Ober says oleum is a fuming sulfuric acid and that the company is handling cleanup.
He says no injuries were reported and all non-essential DuPont employees were sent home.
