FLORENCE - The Florence Fire Department says three dozen children were affected by a chemical that blew into the air late Wednesday morning.*
Fire officials say the Arizona Department of Corrections was conducting training with a chemical normally used for inmate compliance. The weather caused the chemical to reach the children in Florence, causing throat and eye irritation.*
The children are not said to have any serious injuries or complications, but fire officials are still working to treat those affected.*
The school where the children are at has not yet been confirmed.
I'm just shaking my head right now.. Not sure who the hell was running training ops this morning but that's just stupid and no excuse. Yes they love to screw around my guess is they were training with pepperball gun because that stuff will go and if they were being stupid the ammo can go a distance before it ruptures or could've even been a pepperspray grenade but anyway somebodys getting their ass reamed for sure over this.
