Sacramento Assistant Fire Chief Niko King said Tuesday he did not know the conditions of the five other people or where they were taken.

The people, including nine children and three park employees, complained of burning lungs or irritated eyes after the Monday afternoon incident at the Raging Waters park.

County inspectors were focusing their investigation on a safety device in a filtration system. Early reports indicated the system failed, allowing too much chlorine into the park's wave pool.

The park reopened Tuesday, but spokesman Joe Pinell says the wave pool will remain closed indefinitely.
