School Poisonings:
April, 2009
Columbus school evacuated because of fumes
By Deuce Niven
WHITEVILLE, N.C. — An electrical problem was the apparent source of fumes that sent carbon monoxide levels at Columbus Christian Academy High School to an unsafe level Monday morning, said Deputy Columbus County Fire Marshal Jeff Bell.
A secretary at the school was sickened by the odor and sought treatment from her doctor, said Kay Worley, the deputy Emergency Services director.
It will be up to county electrical inspectors to determine when classes may resume for the 105 students at the private school on Alliance Drive, Bell said.
The Brunswick Fire Department answered the 911 call from the school before 9 a.m., Bell said. Students and staff were evacuated as fire officials worked to determine the source of the odor.
A carbon monoxide detector showed worrisome levels of the odorless, deadly gas.
A hazardous materials team from Lake Waccamaw Fire & Rescue responded, and their equipment showed much higher carbon monoxide levels.
“They cut all the power to the building, and the levels went down to normal,” Bell said.
Electrical contractors were at the school Monday afternoon, Worley said. Efforts to contact Principal Deb Edwards were not successful.

Carbon Monoxide Sickens 11 In Kingsessing
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ―
A portable generator is believed to have sickened 11 with carbon monoxide in Kingsessing on May 8.
Firefighters were called to the 5600 block of Warrington Avenue after a call from a concerned neighbor at about 3 a.m.
Yvonne Dunn, 74, said her carbon monoxide detector was triggered by gas overflowing from a nearby home, prompting her to call authorities.
"I didn't know that carbon monoxide travels from house to house," she said.
Crews rescued 11 people, including three children, from three homes on the block. They were rushed to area hospitals, but many are said to have a mild case of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Investigators believe a generator running in the unventilated basement of a family of seven spread the colorless, odorless gas.
"They had the electric turned off and they were supplying the electric through this portable generator," said Chief Derrick Sawyer with the Philadelphia Fire Department.
Fire officials said the home did not have a carbon monoxide alarm or any fire alarms. In January, it became law that all residences should be equipped with both carbon monoxide and fire alarms.
Charges may be filed if the investigation proves the portable generator was being used illegally.

West Boca Raton girls killed in apparent carbon monoxide poisoning were 'model citizens,' principal says
By MICHAEL LaFORGIA Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Sunday, May 31, 2009
It started as a Saturday night sleepover for two girls, 11 and 12, with a trip to Wal-Mart thrown in.
Then came Sunday morning, when Amber Sue Wilson's mother could not wake her.
By morning's end, Amber and her friend Caitlin Brondolo were dead in the one-story home in the Loggers Run community west of Boca Raton. Amber's mother, Loretta L. Wilson, landed in the hospital, unaware of the girls' fate until detectives told her hours later.
All three were stricken by carbon monoxide fumes in what investigators initially were calling a "tragic accident" - perhaps caused by a sport utility vehicle left running in the garage, Palm Beach County sheriff's deputies said.
"They were great students, model citizens, absolutely lovely young women who had so much promise," said Carol Blacharski, principal at Loggers Run Middle School, where the girls were in the sixth grade. "The teachers who had them are just absolutely devastated."
The girls' families were still trying to piece together what had happened.
"We really don't have much information on this situation yet," said Amber's grandmother, Margaret Lance, speaking by telephone from Ellwood City, Pa., in a voice deadened by grief.
"I just can't believe it," said Caitlin's mother, Jill Brondolo, according to the Sun Sentinel. "I'm totally shocked that this would have happened."
Brondolo, who also lives in suburban Boca Raton, said Caitlin was a straight-A student who had become a golf enthusiast, taking lessons for four years and competing in junior tournaments, the Sun Sentinel reported.
She said Amber, another straight-A student, was "a sweetheart. I loved her like my own daughter."
Loretta Wilson, 45, told detectives that something strange had happened to her Ford Escape SUV after she returned with the girls from a trip to Wal-Mart about 10:30 p.m. Saturday.
Wilson said the Ford's engine would not turn off after she pulled the SUV into a garage attached to her house, at 11541 Island Lakes Lane, and closed the garage door behind her. She told detectives that the three of them went inside and fell asleep, sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera said.
Wilson woke about 9 a.m. Sunday and tried to rouse her daughter.
Amber would not stir.
Wilson dialed 911 but apparently was too affected by the fumes to talk to a call-taker. Dispatchers called Wilson back before deputies and paramedics rushed to the family's neighborhood, the gated Island Lakes at Loggers Run subdivision near Glades Road and State Road 7, Barbera said.
Inside, the emergency workers found one girl dead in the kitchen and the second in a front bedroom.
Authorities found Wilson and a small family dog outside in front of the home. They took her to West Boca Medical Center, where she remained Sunday evening. She was expected to recover, Barbera said.
Detectives searched Wilson's house Sunday morning and found the Ford in the garage, its engine turned off and its fuel tank half full. The car keys were on a kitchen counter. There were signs that Wilson, who works for ADT Security Services, was preparing for a business trip.
Besides Wilson, the dog also survived exposure to the toxic fumes. Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control workers were tending to the animal.
Wilson's sister Kristina Lance, 37, and Wilson's 9-year-old son also live in the house but spent the night elsewhere Saturday, authorities said.
"At this very moment it appears to be a tragic accident," Barbera said. "We don't suspect any foul play."
Brondolo said she was astonished that Wilson may have left a vehicle running in the garage, the Sun Sentinel reported.
"I know Loretta is a single mom, but she has neighbors she could have asked for help," the newspaper quoted Brondolo as saying. "She could have called my husband."
The state Department of Children and Families was joining the sheriff's special investigation division in looking into the girls' deaths.
Blacharski, the Loggers Run principal, said she had spent much of the day talking to teachers and staff who knew the girls.
She said her staff will meet before the school day begins this morning to discuss the deaths, and grief counselors will be at the school to talk to students.
The school will provide ways for students to share memories of the girls, including bulletin boards for students to sign.
"It's going to be a hard day at school," Blacharski said.
Mother claims daughter died because of pool heater
4/13/2009 10:45 AM
By Justin Anderson -Kanawha Bureau
CHARLESTON - A Morgantown woman claims an improperly vented swimming pool heater emitted toxic levels of carbon monoxide and killed her daughter during a sleepover.

Quick Thinking Saves Uniontown Family From Carbon Monoxide
City Workers To Be Honored Friday
Posted: 8:04 pm EDT April 16, 2009
UNIONTOWN, Pa. -- A 12-year-old girl along with police and 911 dispatchers are being called heroes for their quick action that saved a family from their carbon monoxide filled home.
Veteran Dispatcher Colleen Rummell received a hang-up cell call early Tuesday morning.
She followed agency procedures and called the number back.
The caller, Nailah Letts, was difficult to understand but with what information was received and the gut instinct that comes with years of taking emergency calls, crews rushed to the Lincoln Street home.
"When I got up to answer the door when they were knocking, I didn't know what door they were at," she said. "I couldn't get there fast enough and I passed out."
Police immediately asked the fire department to come and check for high levels of carbon monoxide. It was determined that the level was 900 ppm, well above the recommended federal level for evacuation of 800 ppm...
11 sent to hospital after carbon monoxide leak in Carpentersville home
April 17, 2009
CARPENTERSVILLE – Eleven occupants of a home here were taken to two local hospitals because of elevated levels of carbon monoxide in the home at in the 70 block of Wren Road.
Police received a call from the residence at 1:34 p.m. Thursday, stating that residents were feeling ill because of a possible carbon monoxide leak, reports said. Once inside the home, firefighters discovered two dead birds in a cage and elevated levels of carbon monoxide. Occupants said the birds were fine Wednesday night. Reports said the carbon monoxide came from a malfunctioning furnace and oven.
Eleven people inside this Carpentersville home were transported to two Elgin hospitals as a result of a carbon monoxide leak on Wednesday.
Two of the 11 occupants complained of feeling ill, reports said. Due to the dead birds and elevated gas levels, firefighters transported six adults and five children – ranging in age from 11 month to 37 years – to Sherman Hospital and Provena St. Joseph Hospital for treatment. Sherman Hospital reported that nine of the victims brought there were all in good condition Thursday afternoon. Provena reported the other two victims, both adults, were stable and expected to be released later Thursday.

3 children found dead in central Mo. house fire
Apr 17, 2009
HOLTS SUMMIT, Mo. (AP) — Three young siblings were found dead after a fire swept through their home early Friday morning, just three months after another fire killed two children in this rural central Missouri town.
The children's mother, another woman and her child were able to escape. An autopsy found that the three children died of carbon monoxide poisoning from the fire, said Callaway County Sheriff Dennis Crane.
The bodies of 4-year-old Chance Wilkerson and 2-year-old Gracie Wilkerson were found on the floor of their bedrooms. But the flames became too intense and firefighters had leave before their 6-year-old brother, Trevor Smith, could be found, Crane said. His body was recovered after the fire was contained.
The woman and child who survived were in the basement of the house, where the fire started, and were able to get the victims' mother, Elizabeth Nix, 24, out of the house, Crane said. The names of the other two survivors were not released.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
Two sisters, ages 3 and 5, died Jan. 16 in a fire in a mobile home in Holts Summit. Before that blaze, the town of about 3,600 had gone 10 years without a fire fatality.

Family Survives Carbon Monoxide That Nearly Took Their Lives
Kristy Steeves, Fox 8 News
April 20, 2009
A dangerous carbon monoxide leak inside a home causes a woman and her children to barely escape with their lives.
By the time the Mansfield Fire Department arrived at a home on Sackman Street they say A'doo Chia-Kur and her three children only had minutes left to live.
Investigators say Chia-Kur and her children were unresponsive when they got to the house.
A'doo told FOX 8 that her 3-year-old son, Zyion, had gotten up in the middle of the night complaining of a stomach ache so she put him in bed with her. Hours later she woke up. Zyion was laying unconscious next to her.
"He was just laying there. I kept nudging him and he wouldn't move," she explained.
A'doo says her heart was beating fast. She felt like she was dying. "I was very lethargic, headache. I couldn't move".
A'doo says she didn't have the strength to call 911 so she hit a button on her touch screen phone. Her best friend, Andrea Brooks, answered.
Andrea says her friend said, "Andrea I'm feeling (like I'm going) to die", and then the phone went dead.
Andrea called 911. When firefighters arrived they had to break in through the front door.
Andrea says she headed for the childrens' bedroom. There she found 5-year-old twins, Marquesia and A'lesia, unconscious. "One of the twins was laying face down on the floor and the other one was passed out on the bed".
The family of four was rushed to the hospital where they recovered from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Mansfield Fire Chief John Harsch says a vent pipe on the furnace, which become dislodged, was the cause of the leak.

SAN ANTONIO -- Authorities are investigating the deaths of three people who may have died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
The three were found in a San Antonio home on Thursday.

Carbon Monoxide Levels Force Astoria Residents To Evacuate
04/28/2009 12:49 AM
By: Samuel King
At least 40 people had to be evacuated from their homes Monday in Astoria due to elevated levels of carbon monoxide.
Con Edison says it was caused by smoldering cables underground on Crescent Street in Astoria. Neighbors say they lost power and were told to leave their homes.
"I went outside, there was a little bit of smoke. I went inside again, came back out after 15 minutes and the wires were jumping and there was more smoke. I went to the drug store and came back, and I was told I could not go into my house," said Astoria resident Angela Lopis.
Power was restored by Monday evening.
Con Edison says it will evaluate what caused the incident to make sure it doesn't happen again.
