Four hospitalized over carbon monoxide level
Paramedics responding to a family complaining of feeling ill discovered an increased level of carbon monoxide late Saturday at a home in west suburban Naperville.
About 9 p. m., a person called 911 to report multiple family members feeling sick at the home in the 1000 block of Bradford Drive, according to the Naperville Fire Department. They were advised to wait outside the building as firefighters and paramedics were dispatched.
Six minutes later, firefighters detected an increase in carbon monoxide levels, authorities said.
Four people were treated with “advanced life support protocols” and taken to Edward Hospital in Naperville, fire officials said.
An investigation revealed there was a problem with the building’s water heater, authorities said. Adjoining units in the building were checked for carbon monoxide poisoning and had slightly elevated readings. All carbon monoxide levels were quickly brought within normal standards through ventilation.
The unit from which the call was made was not equipped with a working carbon monoxide detector. Sun- TimesWire
