The investigation continues in Lancaster where a hazardous materials leak sent more than a dozen workers to the hospital Monday afternoon.

First responders were sent to a reported ammonia leak at a large commercial food processing plant on Danieldale Road.

Lancaster fire commanders requested a large multi-patient vehicle from Cedar Hill for a triage center.

The building was evacuated because of very high ammonia readings but the reason for the leak has not been announced.
