Details are limited as it's an active situation, so It's unclear what caused the leak, as of this writing. However, officials with the Spring Fire Department as well as Harris County responded to the incident at Hurricane Harbor Splashtown on I-45.
During a press conference with several Harris County officials, a total of 26 people were hospitalized and 39 refused to be taken to the hospital after they went through the decontamination process.
Some attendees were experiencing minor skin irritation and inhalation irritation, authorities said, but are working to look into the chemicals involved.
