People were warned to stay indoors after a "chemical incident" in Halifax earlier.
West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said they were called to Quarry Court shortly after 11:00 GMT.
They said a "gas cloud" had formed due to chemicals mixing. They advised anyone living or working nearby to keep doors and windows closed.
