Around 10 PM, Friday, October 25, 2024, according to the Alcoa Fire Department, there has been an ammonia Chemical spill at US Foods. AFD is asking all businesses in the Kings Court area and Hall Community to shelter in place and turn off HVAC units.

In a post to social media, around 12:45AM, Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024, the department says the shelter in place warning has been lifted and cleanup will begin soon.

The department says there may still be fumes, but the ammonia levels are "not dangerous."

We live about a mile from the US Foods facility, as the crow flies. I don't smell any ammonia this morning.
