Emergency services responded quickly to a chemical leak of excess chlorine at Vale Farm Sports Centre, leading to nine children and two adults being hospitalized. A thorough investigation will be conducted to ensure safety in the future.
According to the London Fire Brigade, the chlorine leak was isolated to a learner pool on the ground floor, where firefighters effectively ventilated the area and monitored fume levels until there were no high readings.
Chris Williams from Everyone Active stated that the incident was taken seriously, emphasizing that safety is their top priority, and confirmed a full investigation will help prevent such occurrences.
The center was closed as a precaution after the incident, but it was reported that it reopened at 4pm, with the pool expected to be operational by 6:30am the following day.
