FAIRPORT HARBOR, Ohio (WOIO) - The water treatment plant in Fairport Harbor was evacuated around 6:30 a.m. Thursday due to a chlorine leak.

The Fairport Harbor fire chief said when an employee arrived at work, the chemical alarm was going off, so he followed the safety protocol.

The plant was evacuated, firefighters were called to the scene and the building was ventilated.

The fire chief added crews also put a drone in the air to make sure there was no outside leak.

There were no injuries and the scene was cleared several hours later.
