As reported by the Purcell Register: "Toxic fumes emitted from a
restaurant's drain at the new casino kept Goldsby and Purcell Fire and
Rescue busy for about 10 hours last week. "Goldsby Fire Chief Larry Paulk
said they responded to a chemical spill call around 7:30 p.m. last Thursday
at the Riverwind Casino. ".Purcell Fire Chief Mike Clifton said he was told
that degreaser was poured down the drain, along with bleach. This caused the
chlorine-gas fumes. "About nine employees complaining of nausea and light
shortness of breath were taken to Norman Regional Hospital by Norman EMS,
the fire chiefs said. No patron in the restaurant complained."
