A morning pool maintenance project turned into an explosion in a residential Rockingham neighborhood Tuesday.

Two were injured in a blast ignited by a mixture of chlorine at a home in the 1000 block of Morningside Drive. He son, Rodney Godwin, said his father was mixing chlorine with water.

Neighbors said the initial, powerful blast was followed by two smaller explosions. Two helicopters were dispatched for the injured and landed at FirstHealth Richmond Memorial’s landing pad.
