A hazardous materials incident involving pool chemicals prompted emergency services to close a portion of Littlefield Road on Friday. Firefighters were called to a medical emergency at 106 Littlefield Road around 7:45 a.m. after a resident was exposed to chlorine-based pool treatment and experienced difficulty breathing. Responding paramedics identified the situation as a hazardous materials incident and the resident was transported to Central Maine Medical Center. Lisbon public works closed Littlefield Road between Crowley and King roads as a safety precaution. Once hazardous conditions were resolved, the scene was declared safe and roads were reopened.
