Pools are bad news!
Two reports in todayÕs digest, and I forget how many in the previous weeks (but at least one or two every week).
Is it that people take these systems for granted, like something that just always works right, or is it that they assume that pool chemicals must not be all that hazardous because people are swimming in them all the time (ignoring the dilution factor, which must be monumentalÉ)?
I guess IÕm kinda glad we never put that pool in the back yard like we had talked aboutÉ

EVACUATIONS AFTER CHEMICAL REACTION - CBS 21 NEWS - BREAKING NEWS, SPORTS AND WEATHER FOR THE HARRISBURG PENNSYLVANIA AREA, http://www.whptv.com/news/local/story/Evacuations-after-chemical-reaction/Xoq52959G02iWkCAJeTpRA.cspx
Hazmat crews and emergency responders responded to the 300 block of Shrobs Hill rd. in West Manheim township around nine Tuesday for a vehicle fire involving a chemical reaction.
Firefighters say the Maryland company van contained pool chemicals that somehow combusted. It was parked in one resident's driveway.
First responders extinguished the fire, but the chemical reaction forced them to evacuate near by homes.
No one was injured and people will likely be able to go back home tonight.
