According to Fire Department, the leak occurred in the pool area and sent seven people, including children, to hospital for ‘minor things’
Hundreds of people were temporarily emptied out of a downtown St. John’s hotel Friday afternoon after a chlorine gas leak in the facility’s pool area, officials said.
He said the people were sent to hospital for “just minor things a little bit nauseated, maybe itchy throat, watery eyes, that sort of thing.” He added that he was mostly involved in operations inside the hotel. Though the leak occurred in the pool area, the sharp smell quickly spread throughout the hotel, he said. His crew evacuated the hotel and then went into the building with gas detectors and masks to locate the problem, he said. Then they ventilated the building to ensure it was safe for everyone to return.
Officials sent guests to a nearby church and the convention centre across the street, said Heather McKinnon, the hotel’s general manager. By about 4:30 p.m., the fire department had declared the building safe, and the guests returned.
