About 20 people, mostly kids, treated following hazmat situation at Riverside pool 00:48

About 20 people, most of them children, suffered a range of injuries after a hazmat situation at a Riverside pool.

It happened at about 3:30 p.m. after a possible chlorine and acid exposure at Villegas Park, according to the Riverside Fire Department.

The number of injured is between 20 and 25, according to Riverside Police.

Firefighters took three people to the hospital, all with minor coughing and wheezing. Others were evaluated at the scene and released. Investigators are still trying to figure out what happened, but the leading theory from the fire department is that some chlorine did not mix properly before entering the pool.
