Fire crews are dealing with an incident at a Fonterra plant this morning - hours after a fire broke out at another branch further north.
Emergency services are at the Fonterra site in Edendale, Southland, after a chlorine leak was reported just before 4am.
A southern fire communications spokeswoman said
they had two fire trucks at the scene, on North Rd, from Invercargill and Edendale.
There were no reports of injuries within the plant. There was no risk to the public, she said, but fire crews remained there almost two hours later.
It is the second incident to be reported at a Fonterra plant within the past few hours, after a person was taken to hospital after a fire broke out at a Fonterra factory just north of Whāngārei last night.
