The Waterloo Fire Department responded along with Millstadt EMS to an anhydrous ammonia leak reported in the area of Bohleysville Road at Keim Road in St. Clair County about 8 p.m. Wednesday.

The anhydrous tank hitch came loose from a trailer pulled by a tractor operated by Steve Frank on the Vogel farm, resulting in a broken hose that led to the spill. There was a significant amount of the chemical spilled and a large anhydrous cloud hovering above the area, according to emergency radio dispatch.

There were no reports of injuries, but a couple of homes near the spill were evacuated as a precaution. Monroe County Sheriff’s Department deputies assisted with the incident.
