Lifeguard becomes unwell at Forest Lawn swimming pool, suspecting a minor chlorine leak according to the Chicago Fire Department.

Forest Lawn Outdoor Pool Evacuated Due to Chlorine Leak

A chlorine leak at the Forest Lawn outdoor pool on Friday evening led to the evacuation of the pool and the subsequent illness of a lifeguard. The lifeguard, who has not been publicly identified, was in the maintenance room at the time of the leak.

The incident occurred around 6 p.m., and the Calgary Fire Department was quick to respond. They evacuated approximately two dozen people from the pool and assessed the situation. The lifeguard involved in the incident was not transported to the hospital, and it is expected that their current health status will be okay.

The chlorine leak originated from a maintenance room at the pool, and it is believed that the lifeguard was affected by a small chlorine leak. No further injuries were reported during the evacuation. The pool was reopened after the Calgary Fire Department determined that the area was safe.

The exact time of the pool evacuation is not specified, but it took place on the same day as the chlorine leak incident (Friday). The Calgary Fire Department was involved in both the incident and the evacuation process.

This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and safety procedures in public pools. The Forest Lawn outdoor pool will continue to operate as usual, and the pool management is working closely with the Calgary Fire Department to ensure the safety of all patrons.
