Pool Chlorine Fire Forces School Closures | St. Louis News
Description
A dangerous chemical fire erupted early Wednesday in Sauget, Cahokia Heights, and East St. Louis, fueled by trichloroisocyanuric acid — the same compound found in pool chlorine tablets. Though flames are extinguished, hazardous smoke remains, prompting mandatory shelter-in-place orders across the region. Residents must seal their homes tightly and avoid outside air until further notice. As a precaution, all schools in the East St. Louis School District are closed for the day.
