A South Terminal fish processing plant was evacuated Thursday night after reporting an ammonia leak in the plant sometime around 9pm.

Officials say the leak forced the evacuation of the Pier Fish Company on Conway Street.

Fire officials quickly declared the incident a "tier 2 hazmat" emergency, prompting calls to State and Bristol County hazmat teams.

A spokesman for the Fire Department says no injuries were reported, but fire and emergency crews remained on scene as of 11pm.
