Hull firefighters return to scene of acid leak at King George dock

Vapour cloud formed after leak meant emergency services had to return to east of city, but health risk said to be minimal

Emergency crews have attended a large-scale acid leak in Hull, which caused a vapour cloud to form over a dock in the east of the city.

The fire service had initially warned nearby residents to close their doors and windows as a precautionary measure after a tank containing 580 tonnes of hydrochloric acid sprang a leak at the King George dock late on Monday.
