A carbon monoxide emergency with multiple patients unfolded in the 6800 block of Fallen Leaf Circle in east Louisville, with at least one person transported from the scene by emergency crews. The call came in just before noon, and Anchorage-Middletown units were dispatched to the home as the response got underway, according to WHAS11.
The address sits in the Thomas subdivision off Brownsboro Road, according to WLKY, which reported the emergency and said it was continuing to work to learn more details about what happened. MetroSafe confirmed the timing of the call, placing it just before noon, per the same report.
Beyond confirming that multiple patients were involved and that at least one person was transported, the station's report did not specify how many people in total were affected, what caused the carbon monoxide to build up inside the home, or where the transported patient was taken. Those details had not been made public as of the station's report.
What Residents Should Know About CO Exposure
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, as reported by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which is part of why multi-patient calls like this one can escalate before anyone realizes what is happening inside a home. Residents can seek professional checks of fuel-burning appliances.
No further information about the number of people affected, the condition of the person who was transported, or the source of the carbon monoxide has been released. Hoodline will update this story as more information becomes available.
