SHAH ALAM, May 22 — An ammonia gas leakage was reported to have occurred at a cold storage facility at a residential area in Jalan Sungai Rasau, Taman Berjaya here last night.
Selangor Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) assistant director of operations Hafisham Mohd Noor said the firefighters arrived at the location at 9.44pm after receiving a report from the public about a strong smell in the area.
“The Hazmat team from the Selangor JBPM found that there was a blocked drain between the storage facility and the residential area,” he said in a statement today.
