Firefighters removed residents from a section of the Richmond Terrace Houses yesterday after three City Housing Authority workers were overcome by fumes from a cleaning chemical just after 1 p.m., the police said.
The Fire Department said that 16 people, including five firefighters, were treated at Richmond University Medical Center in the afternoon. One person was in critical condition, two were in serious condition and the rest were treated for minor injuries.
The Fire Department said the workers had used hydrated lime, a cleaning chemical, in an enclosed space.
