SASKATOON – Two people are in hospital after the accidental release of chlorine gas in downtown Saskatoon.
Fire crews were called to the scene at Spadina Crescent and 21st Street East, where a Delta hotel is, around noon on Friday after a reported “hazmat incident.”
Saskatoon fire says it involved the accidental mixing of chlorine gas and muriatic acid, which can be used to remove mortar, concrete and grout.
The contaminated areas had already been evacuated when the hazmat crew arrived to begin ventilating the area.
Firefighters say the chlorine gas release has since been contained.
Paramedics brought two people to hospital. The fire department says their conditions are not known.
