DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Two firefighters were injured today during a hazardous materials training session. Volusia County Fire Services spokesman Walter Nettles says a firefighter from Port Orange Fire Rescue and another from his agency were training with a chlorine gas-filled cylinder when they got a whiff of the gas.

Nettles says the firefighters were training with colleagues from around the country at the Volusia County Fire Training Center in Daytona Beach.

They were treated at the scene. Nettles says their injuries aren't considered serious.
