York City, PA – A carbon monoxide leak in a York City home could have ended differently had one resident not called 911.
“(It was) very close to a different outcome, a tragic outcome this morning,” York City Fire Chief David Michaels said Wednesday, Dec. 5.
Michaels said emergency crews arrived at a home in the 700 block of South Pershing Avenue and found five people, three of them unconscious, early Wednesday morning.
The residents were hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning, he said.
On Wednesday morning, Michaels said one of the five, a woman, had been released from York Hospital.
The other four, two adults and two children, were taken from York Hospital to the University of Maryland Medical Center for treatment, according to the chief.
He said they are expected to survive.
