Update 1:47pm There's a few concerns that people need to worry about and the first is with the heat. Emergency personnel have the task of containing this leak in this heat. Secondly, if you have a health problem you need to stay indoors or find an alternative place to stay until things are under control. At this time, emergency personnel have not been able to speak to the media which is very understandable but our photographer on the scene has spoken with a man who has family in the area and they have been advised to leave the area because one of the members has a health problem. If you have been asked to leave your home and/or if you have been asked to stay inside I want to hear from you. Send me an email at [e-mail] or by calling the newsroom at 502-582-7220.

Update: Our crew at the scene says that emergency personnel have pushed them back for their safety. Our crew does smell something in the air but its not distinctive where they could pinpoint exactly what it is. Stay with WHAS11 News and WHAS11.com for the latest.

There's a chemical leak within a rail car at the Dow Chemical Plant on Campground Road. I know that Lake Dreamland and PRP fire Departments are on the scene as well as other emergency personnel. I have confirmed that the fire departments are shutting off the a couple of streets around the plant. That's Kramers Lane and Ralph Avenue. We have a crew already on the scene and they are updating me as information becomes available.
