**Urgent Warning as Chlorine Cloud Emerges Over Surrey** Residents in Surrey have been urgently advised to close their windows following the emergence of a "chlorine cloud" in the Oxshott area this afternoon. The Surrey Fire and Rescue Service has confirmed that they are responding to a chemical incident that has affected a significant part of the region. The fire service released a map indicating the areas impacted by the incident, which began shortly after midday. A spokesperson for the service stated, "We were called to an incident at 12:11 today on Steels Lane in Oxshott. We currently have three fire and rescue vehicles and three officers in attendance. The incident involves the mixture of two ingredients used for swimming pools which has created a 'chlorine cloud' in the area." Chlorine is a chemical commonly used in various applications, including swimming pools and cleaning products. Experts note that chlorine does not naturally exist in gaseous form. It can be released into the atmosphere if there is an accidental discharge from an industrial site or transport vehicle, according to government guidelines. The fire service has indicated that their presence may remain in the area for the rest of the day as they manage the situation. Residents are advised to stay indoors and keep windows closed to avoid exposure to the chemical. As the situation develops, further updates from the Surrey Fire and Rescue Service are expected to provide more information on the incident and any necessary safety measures for the public.
