'With toxins potentially fouling the air...'

That out of context line is from this story in the Dayton Daily News. It seems that the Lansing at Dayton finale was in a bit of jeopardy.
The all-day fire at Franklin Iron and Metal, less than a mile from their ballpark, certainly grabbed the Dayton Dragons’ attention Thursday, May 20, before they were beaten 3-2 by the Lansing Lugnuts, who swept a three-game series.

“The fire was pretty big when I drove by,” said catcher Mark Fleury, who was headed to Carmen’s Deli on North Main to grab lunch.

With toxins potentially fouling the air, city officials initially advised those within a two-mile radius of the blaze to remain indoors, conceivably jeopardizing the Lansing series finale.
They played. But, with an air-monitoring device on the roof.

The Dragons handled it well, but...well....
[B]oth teams’ pitchers did their pregame work outside with the stay-indoors directive still in effect.

One Lugnut even ran the stadium steps before the air was declared safe.
Inhaling toxic fumes is a way to get super powers, right?
