Chemical Spill Closes Street in Branson

A chemical spill occurs at a Branson attraction Thursday morning closing a road near the Strip.

According to a release from Branson Mo Fire-Rescue on Facebook, around 8:45 firefighters were dispatched to the Aquarium at the Boardwalk to handle a hydrochloric acid spill. The incident occurred while a transfer of the acid was taking place between a container into the aquarium system. 

Glory Road which runs between the aquarium and the Grand Village was closed down between W 76 Country Music Blvd and Green Mountain Drive while the spill was contained. 

No injuries were reported from the incident. Branson Fire Crews remained on the scene into the afternoon assisting Hazmat responders from Springfield and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
