Maintenance worker treated for chlorine inhalation at the Pelican Place complex in
Belleair,
Florida
Emergency rescue crews treated a maintenance worker for chemical inhalation at a townhouse complex after he was overcome with chlorine fumes when he walked into a pool shed on the property Monday morning.
Authorities say they believe there was a malfunction of an automatic pool system that mixes the chemicals together to treat the pool.
Hazmat crews responded and evacuated one nearby building while they investigated and aired out the shed.
The incident occurred at the Pelican Place complex off Poinsettia Road.
