Pilgrim’s Pride Evacuated In Waco

A portion of the Waco Pilgrim’s Pride plant was evacuated Monday evening due to an ammonia leak in part of the building. The Waco Fire Department confirmed at least 15 firefighters were working the case, and it would likely be an overnight process to ventilate the facility. One person was taken to the hospital by a family member, but the first responders reported no other injuries. Hazmat and AMR responded.
