Ice rink in Leeuwarden closed again due to ammonia leak

The Elfstedenhal in Leeuwarden has been evacuated again due to an ammonia leak, following a similar incident earlier this week. Ammonia is used to cool the motors in the facility's technical area. On Tuesday, a significant leak occurred, prompting an immediate evacuation of 400 people. The ice rink is now facing the same issue, and the facility will remain closed until Monday. The director reassured that no one was in danger this time, as only a small amount of ammonia escaped and the leak was quickly detected. An alarm system ensures immediate evacuation protocols are followed during such incidents.
