ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Nine people in the small Alaska town of Houston have been hospitalized after being exposed to carbon monoxide in a home.
KTVA-TV reports (https://bit.ly/2mVkvSv ) one victim in critical condition was flown to Seattle for further treatment.
Houston Fire Chief Christian Hartley says the Monday night incident occurred at a home that had a generator running in the basement.
Hartley says a resident had left the home because of a headache and went to the home of a friend. He says the two went back to the affected home and dragged the other people out.
The incident follows the February carbon monoxide death of an 18-year-old man at an Anchorage home. Seven others at the home were transported to hospitals.
Houston is a town of about 2,100 north of Anchorage.
