Two children suffered burns after someone poured pool chemicals on three slides at a playground in Longmeadow, Massachusetts, over the weekend.
An investigation determined that the pump room in the basement of the pool building at the playground had been broken into. Two fences had been climbed and a cover to a ventilation shaft was torn off. The pool chemicals were stored properly in a secure area, and fire officials said"a great deal of effort" was used to enter the space. Investigators said they believe the suspects might have suffered acid burns to their hands or arms and their clothing could have been degraded from contact with the acid.
"As of now all hazardous materials have been cleaned up and removed," fire officials said."The rest of the park is open."
