Firefighter Hurt In Crash After Rocori Pool Scare

ROCKVILLE, Minn. (WCCO) ― A firefighter who worked with the department who assisted in the Rocori High School chlorine incident was injured after rolling his all-terrain vehicle.

According to authorities, Travis John Rothstein, 25, was leaving the fire hall in Rockville, Minn. late Wednesday afternoon when he rolled in the parking lot.

Rothstein was wearing a helmet at the time, according to Rockville Fire Chief Jeff Howe, who helped Rothstein after the crash along with three other firefighters.

Rothstein was taken to Hennepin County Medical Center.

At least 37 students and one adult at Rocori High had been injured earlier Wednesday when chlorine gas leaked from the building's pool area.
