Carbon monoxide emergency in NYC sends 8 to hospitals

At least two people remained hospitalized early Monday, hours after a carbon monoxide leak spewed fumes throughout a three-family Brooklyn home late Sunday, authorities say.

According to investigators, a 17-year-old girl and a 25-year-old woman both felt woozy around 11 p.m. at the home, on West Sixth Street, between Avenue U and Avenue T in Gravesend. They told other family members, who called 911.

Responding officers suspected carbon monoxide, evacuated the home and called the fire department.

A dozen people had to leave. Eight of them were taken to hospitals, but some went with family members; not all were symptomatic.

The FDNY did some testing and found elevated levels of carbon monoxide.

It wasn’t clear if there were carbon monoxide detectors in the home.
