A warehouse fire at Leslie's Swimming Pool Supply Co. released 100 percent toxic chlorine and muriatic acid gas forcing the evacuation of about 5 000 people from a four square mile area. One man 28 years old was hospitalized in critical condition and more than 1 000 residents sought shelter at schools and Red Cross centers as the gas drifted across the region. Police helicopters landed due to dizziness from the fumes.
