Nine kids hospitalized after chemical spill at swimming pool.
Unfortunately, the sports centre will not be open for the foreseeable future. This afternoon, a chemical leak occurred in a London pool at a leisure centre, causing harm to nine children and two adults. As a safety measure, the leisure centre was immediately evacuated. The incident took place at Vale Farm Sports Centre on Watford Road in Wembley, shortly before 1.40pm.
According to a statement posted on their website, the centre stated that they are closed due to unexpected events. The situation arose due to chlorine seeping into the water, creating a hazardous environment. The hazardous area response team, along with ambulance crews, were present at the scene to provide assistance.
All eleven individuals involved in the incident were taken to the hospital for treatment. A spokesperson from the London Ambulance Service confirmed that they treated the nine children and two adults on-site before transporting them to the hospital. As a precautionary measure, road closures were put in place around the sports centre to ensure the safety of the public.
The situation is being closely monitored, and the centre will remain closed until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and are taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of our members and the community. Please check our website for updates on when we will be able to reopen. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.
