BUILDING EVACUATED

A valve leaking a refrigerant sent workers at CBN's corporate support building outside early Thursday until hazardous-materials crews cleaned up the spill.

Fire spokesman Mike Wade said that only a few gallons leaked from a broken valve on air-conditioning equipment. Fire crews fixed the valve and ventilated the building. Workers returned to their jobs around 8:30 a.m.
