Danish police say Atlantic Sapphire fire and chemical leak under control, but warn people away

Iron chloride spilled into the sea near Hvide Sande, following Wednesday's fire at Atlantic Sapphire's Danish facility, and police are warning citizens to avoid swimming in the area.

The primary use of ferric chloride is to remove impurities in water and for wastewater treatment.
