A chemical leak at a Coca-Cola plant in Florida prompted employees to evacuate the building and forced nearby residents to shelter in place.

A spokesperson for the city of Auburndale told FOX 13 that there was an ammonia leak at the Coca-Cola plant in the city on Wednesday morning. 

The spokesperson said that a 20,000-gallon container at the plant was leaking ammonia. Polk County Fire Rescue crews later contained the leak.

All employees at the plant were evacuated as a result of the leak, the spokesperson said, adding that there were not any injury reports.
