CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—Cleanup from a chemical spill and fire near Interstate 24 in Tennessee will take several days, after the interstate was shut down and nearby homes evacuated overnight on Thursday.
Emergency responders were called to the scene just after 9 p.m. when a tractor-trailer carrying peracetic acid and sodium hydroxide caught fire in a shopping center parking lot in Chattanooga, according to the Chattanooga Fire Department.
