Five Iowa Ft. Dodge Children Hospitalized - Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

By Steve Lombardi

Fort Dodge, Iowa at the Travel Inn pool five children were playing in the pool when they experienced carbon monoxide poisoning. The Assistant Fort Dodge Fire Captain reported the levels of carbon monoxide were 14 times higher than normal. A faulty furnace is to be blame.

What one has to wonder is when the furnace had its last maintenance check up. It’s important to keep furnaces clean or carbon monoxide can come into the building.
