Queensland Fire and emergency Services have responded to a chemical leak in Ipswich over the weekend. 

Crews have remained on the scene since Saturday to mitigate damage.  

The leak was caused by 75 1000 litres containers of nitric acid, one of which had ruptured, spilling onto the others. 

Residents in the area took to social media to share their experience with one user writing, “the smell and eye-stinging was crazy." 

Residents in nearby suburbs have been asked by QFES to keep all windows and doors shut.
