Several Ill After Chemical Leak At Fishers YMCA

Authorities say several people fell ill after an apparent chemical leak at a suburban Indianapolis YMCA.

The Fishers Fire Department says six adults and a child were taken to hospitals with non-life threatening injuries after the leak happened Tuesday morning. Eleven other people were checked out as officials evacuated the YMCA facility in Fishers, just north of Indianapolis. Officials said there was not any danger for surrounding areas.

According to a Fishers YMCA Facebook post, a mechanical issue caused the release of extra chlorine into one of the two pools. The post says no life-threatening injuries have occurred.
