Three of the six people hurt in Wednesday’s ammonia leak at the TNT Crust plant in Green Bay had to be rushed to the hospital.
Paramedics say they suffered respiratory chemical burns when the leak happened about 1:15 yesterday morning.
Sixteen people were in the plant at the time, firefighters said had they not all gotten out, some of them could have died.
Fire crews say the ammonia came from the plant’s cooling system.
The plant reopened yesterday, after getting the all-clear from firefighters.
