Orange plume prompts brief shelter-in-place in La Habra; leak contained
Emergency crews responded to a chemical leak at a La Habra business on Cypress Street, with an orange plume rising from the building. Hazmat teams contained the leak, active air monitoring is in place and there is no active risk to residents. The shelter-in-place order was downgraded to an advisory and then lifted around 2:30 p.m., three people were checked by medical personnel with no injuries, and Cypress Street was briefly closed while investigators determine the cause.
