Some Listowel residents were asked to close their windows and doors for a few hours as crews dealt with an ammonia leak at the Listowel Memorial Arena Friday afternoon.
Officials say the leak was the result of a compressor failure in refrigeration system.
The Municipality of North Perth tweeted the warning around 1:30 this afternoon.
They had asked anyone within 800m of the arena to take precautions and “Shelter-in-Place,” they have since cleared the warning, and deemed the area safe.
