The San Francisco Fire Department responded to Presidio Golf & Concordia Club for cleanup of a hazardous material situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What we know<\/p>\n
The fire department posted photos of their response to the golf course on social media at 3:40 p.m. They said the incident involved the accidental, but potentially deadly mixture of muriatic acid and chlorine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man was working on the jacuzzi hot tub in the clubhouse when he was mixing chemicals and affected by the chemical release.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fire Capt. Mariano Elias said the pool cleaner inhaled the fumes at around 12:48 p.m. Elias said the worker was in stable condition, but was not more specific.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chemicals, including a 55-gallon drum, were outdoors when the incident occurred, Elias said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“We contained the material and once that was done, the Department of Public Health took it over and they’re going to dispose of it properly,” Elias said.<\/p>\n
At around 4:30 p.m., SkyFOX flew over the scene and the fire department had already left.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The golf course is at the edge of one San Francisco’s wealthier enclaves in Presidio Terrace at Arguello Boulevard.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the incident, fire officials urged residents and nearby businesses to avoid the area and to listen to instructions from emergency workers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
