Emergency crews were called to a bakery on South Cedar Street Friday for a reported ammonia leak.

Officials said the leak was found around noon.

They had trouble stopping the leak completely and had to call for help from a company in Philadelphia.

"What we ended up recommending is the residents nearby to shelter in places inside their homes, close their door, close their windows, don't come outside unless necessary," said Stephen Bekanich of Luzerne County EMA.

Crews said a federal agricultural inspector made a surprise visit to Michael's European Specialties Bakery on South Cedar Street and found a tank leaking ammonia.

People living and working in the area are asked to stay inside. However, officials did say an air test showed a small amount of ammonia in the air.
