NAPERVILLE, Ill. ~ Naperville's Emergency Communications Center (ECC) received a call on Monday, April 15 at 9:14 p.m. for a reported ammonia spill at Ramsay's Kitchen located at 39 W. Jefferson Ave. The ECC quickly dispatched a box alarm, which was later reduced to a special rescue assignment involving nine fire apparatus and 16 personnel.
The first vehicle arrived on the scene at 9:20 p.m. and immediately entered the restaurant, where they discovered approximately one gallon of ammonia spilled in the basement. Fortunately, the restaurant staff had already evacuated all patrons and employees before the Fire Department's arrival. Hazmat technicians from the Fire Department were able to remove the ammonia using specialized absorbent materials within just 30 minutes.
As a precautionary measure, fire companies remained on the scene for an additional 30 minutes to ensure that all fumes were properly ventilated and that the space was safe for occupants. The spill was contained to the basement of the restaurant and no further hazardous conditions were found. After thorough clean-up and ventilation, the building was turned back over to restaurant staff who were able to reoccupy it.
