According to a Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue spokesman, the leak was located in a plant room at a premises on Grantham Road in the village and was created by a reaction when two chemicals were accidentally mixed together.

Crews monitored the air in the room and used two Gas Tight Suits with a decontamination pack to seal off the container.
