Temecula Hazmat hydrochloric acid spill leads to shelter in place and four students transported

Approximately 275 gallons of hydrochloric acid, a pool chemical, spilled near Great Oak High School and the Pechanga reservation, leading to a mandatory shelter-in-place order for much Friday, Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department reported.
Four students were taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital for evaluation after exhibiting symptoms of chemical exposure. Still, their condition was considered stable, according to Cal Fire spokesperson Rob Roseen.
Firefighters were called to the 12000 block of Pechanga Road at 7:45 a.m., where a large quantity of hydrochloric acid spilled from the back of a commercial vehicle near the front of the Pechanga Tribal Government building.
A citywide alert was sent to residents through AlertRivCo, notifying residents of shelter-in-place orders for the housing tract at Peach Tree Street and Primrose Avenue until the incident was cleared. The borders included residences south of Rocky Bar Drive, west of Peach Tree Street, north of Pechanga Road and Live Oak Ranch Road, and east of the Pechanga Resort roads.
Great Oak High School students were released from campus by 12:30 p.m., according to Roseen. All shelter-in-place orders were lifted an hour later.
