Fuga química en Toledo obliga evacuación y orden de permanecer en el lugar

El cuerpo de bomberos y rescate de Toledo informó que una fuga de glicidil metacrilato de un tanque de 5 500 galones en la instalación MC Tank provocó la orden de evacuación dentro de una milla y la orden de permanecer en el lugar dentro de tres millas el 18 de octubre, mientras las autoridades vigilaban la posibilidad de una explosión.
