Fire investigators are still trying to figure out what caused an early morning ammonia leak that barricaded many neighbors in their homes and sent one of their own to the hospital.

They say it happened at Bryant Products on Tram Avenue. According to police, the officer on patrol discovered the leak around 5 Sunday morning and immediately notified the supervisor. That's when police issued a "Stay-in" advisory to nearby residents urging them to stay indoors until the leak has been contained.

The officer that discovered the leak was transported to USA Medical Center for inhalation, but is expected to be ok.

I might know who did this! Richard Pryor knows all about Ammonia leaks. He talks about it in one of his first albums. They could check for feet prints. If they find little tiny babies feet prints it could solve this case. Just look for the monkeys in the trees. Don’t be eye balling me!! I swear it winked at me!

“Early Morning Ammonia Leak” just sounds painful.

I would give odds that this is meth related,it usually turns out to be.ammonia don’t just start leaking for no reason,usually means someone has tampered with the tank valve.

Glad everyone will be OK. Didn’t they have a problem awhile back with people stealing ammonia to make meth,or is that a different kind? Just wondering if there could be a connection…
