Hazmat crews called to Palm Desert Resort

Six people are recovering tonight after a mixture of pool chemicals created noxious fumes at a Palm Desert Resort.

It happened around 4:45 this afternoon at “Club Intrawest” on Willow Ridge near Country Club Drive and Cook Street.

Cal Fire says pool workers were putting chlorine and muriatic acid into a water feature and may have used an excessive amount filling the center with harmful vapors.

A hazardous materials team was called to the resort but says all readings were within the normal limits. Six patients were evaluated on scene by paramedics, but none of them were taken to the hospital.
