Police say the leak was small and didn't pose a big risk to anyone because it was more than 100 feet from the hotel and bar so there were no evacuations. The fire department's hazmat team was called in to handle the leak.
After speaking with Fargo Police and Fargo Fire Department officials, the tanker truck with the anhydrous leak has been dealt with and the truck sent to Grand Forks for a repair to a cracked valve.
