Man inhaled fumes

An elderly Elmer man was taken to hospital for observation after he inhaled chemical fumes.

A fire crew from the town was called to a house in Kingsmead just after 10am on Tuesday to deal with a gas emergency.

The incident is believed to have been caused by a fungicide being mixed with a masonry cleaner to release a small amount of chlorine.

The chemicals were no longer reacting when the firefighters arrived. They checked the area to ensure no gas remained.
