Two construction workers and two officers were injured, and a firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion, after a release of acid fumes at a Dannon Co. yogurt plant in Fort Worth. Firefighters closed streets around the plant for hours while the spill was contained and cleaned up. One construction worker, one officer and the firefighter were taken to area hospitals for treatment. Investigators say that a tank containing a diluted form of peracetic acid, a substance used to clean machinery in the plant, came into contact with some type of organic substance. The reactions created vapors that escaped through a lid on the tank.
