Hopewell’s Fire brigade and Hazardous Materials Response teams were called to an AdvanSix plant for a late-night gas leak on Wednesday, June 28.
Hopewell can be largely recognized by its setting of vast industrial plants sprawling across the city.
However, that doesn’t make Wednesday night’s liquid ammonia leak any less scary for people like Jessica Gilchrist whose close friends work in surrounding facilities. She texted one of them all night trying to learn what was happening and whether the community was safe.
“He’s texting me that he’s scared, and he’s concerned they’re being put on lockdown,” Gilchrist recalled.
