The Akron Fire Department was called to a business on Home Avenue Tuesday for a HazMat leak. 

According to officials, fire crews responded to Hygenic Corporation just before 11 a.m. after a 140 pound Chlorine tank started leaking.

A HazMat team and a decontamination team tried to seal the leak.

The business was evacuated as crews cleaned up.   

Akron Fire said Chlorine levels are now at 'zero.' Employees were able to re-enter the building.
