A carbon monoxide leak prompted the evacuation of a high-rise building in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood on Wednesday morning.
The Chicago Fire Department swiftly attended to the 10-story building on the 3300 block of North DuSable Lake Shore Drive after detecting elevated carbon monoxide levels, as reported by CBS News. At least one person was hospitalized due to the incident.
Similarly, on Monday night, another carbon monoxide incident forced Park Ridge apartment residents to urgently evacuate their homes. According to ABC 7 Chicago, high levels of carbon monoxide were found in the basement of the apartment complex on West Touhy Avenue after residents began to quickly fall ill. "We were freaking out at first," resident Mikey Achramowicz said.
