Frisco, TX - Chemical fire at Texas Pool SupplySept. 25, 2024FRISCO, Texas — A chemical fire at a Frisco pool store led to city officials asking residents to shelter in place, but the fire was ultimately deemed non-hazardous to residents, officials said.
Early Wednesday morning, residents were asked to shelter in place after a pool supply business caught fire in an industrial park off the Dallas North Tollway. The request was lifted about an hour later.
The fire was first reported at 7:44 a.m. at
Texas Pool Supply in the 10500 block of John W. Elliott Drive, near Eldorado Parkway and the Dallas North Tollway. The fire was called "out" by 9:28 a.m., according to a press release from Frisco Fire.
Kistner said 78 first responders were at the fire. There were 58 firefighters, 12 police officers and 8 public works employees. A few of the first responders were from Little Elm.
The fire department is now in the process of putting firefighters and trucks back in service within the city, Kistner said.
Ten first responders were taken to a hospital for inhalation-related injuries as a precaution, Kistner said — three firefighters and seven police officers. All of them are stable and under observation as of Wednesday afternoon.
Three chemicals – pool salt, chlorine and pool shock – were involved in the fire. Two of those chemicals are considered hazardous, Kistner said.
“Hazardous materials will complicate any response that we make especially a building fire like this,” Kistner said. “Luckily here in Frisco, we are blessed to have those hazardous materials specialists, those people that can handle these types of emergencies right alongside our firefighters.”
