After seven children at the Country Club of Darien complained of symptoms consistent with chlorine exposure on Saturday afternoon, Darien police, firefighters and an ambulance crew were called to the scene. After the call to first responders went out at 2:50 p.m., a group of youths with complaints of the symptoms were quarantined at the club and evaluated by Darien EMS-Post 53 emergency medical technicians. Of seven children, ranging in age from 8 to 16, five were later taken to Stamford Hospital “as a precautionary measure.” Police gave out no further information about their condition, although the implication is that they weren’t in immediate danger. “All of the affected youths were conscious and alert,” police said.
