Sugar Grove Chemical Spill Sends 14 To Area Hospitals

A chemical spill Monday morning at a Sugar Grove chemical distributor sent 14 people to area hospitals with respiratory problems.

The Sugar Grove Fire Protection District says all the problems were minor.  Fire district officials say chlorine gas was released in the incident at Producers Chemical.  The District says it took about two and a half hours to contain the release and clear the facility.
