Palm Beach County Fire Rescue temporarily evacuated an area in Lake Park after a possible leak from a chlorine tank this morning, according to fire rescue spokesperson Don Delucia.

Crews later determined there was no leak and the area was safe.

The possible leak was under investigation and was treated as a hazmat situation.

Crews began evacuating 10th Street between North Lake Boulevard and Park Avenue, Delucia said. But the evacuation ended shortly after.
