It is understood that a 1,000 litre drum of chemicals was spilt, giving off toxic fumes.
No-one was injured in the incident but residents were advised to remain indoors, keeping all doors and windows closed.
The Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue service said that no homes were evacuated as the wind was blowing the fumes away from homes and over empty fields.
