Six treated for carbon monoxide poisoning
Jun 25, 2008 | Melinda Rogers | Salt Lake Tribune
Six people in Ogden survived a carbon monoxide scare early Tuesday.
The Ogden City Fire Department responded to 1003 E. 125 South around 2:15 a.m. after someone called 911 to complain everyone in the house was fainting, said Deputy Chief Chad Tucker, a Fire Department spokesman.
A dispatcher told the caller to have everyone evacuate the house. Emergency personnel arrived to find six people outside the home; all complained of flu symptoms, Tucker said.
Firefighters discovered lethal amounts of carbon monoxide in the home. The six occupants of the home were taken to a local hospital. Tucker said he didn't know if the occupants were from the same family.
An updated condition for the six people was not available late Tuesday.
Tucker said the incident is a reminder for people to have a working carbon monoxide detector in their homes.
