A leak of toxic chemicals from a massive tank at a Garden Grove aerospace facility forced evacuations to be reissused on Friday, a day after residents were first ordered out of the area.
Firefighters on Thursday afternoon responded to a vapor release from a 34,000-gallon tank containing methyl methacrylate at the site on the 12100 block of Western Avenue, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.
The industrial chemical is used in plastics and manufacturing, officials said.
No injuries were immediately reported.
