Hazmat Team Confirms Carbon Monoxide Leak in Fontana Apartment

Fontana, CA – Six people, ranging from five to 64 years old, were hospitalized after a dangerous carbon monoxide leak in an apartment unit. According to Yahoo News, firefighters and a hazmat team responded to the scene and determined carbon monoxide (CO) was present using specialized detection equipment (yahoo.com).

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be fatal in minutes. Without the right monitoring tools, it’s nearly impossible to identify until symptoms appear—by then, it can already be too late.

The hazmat professionals who confirmed the CO leak did so using advanced gas detection instruments—the very type Apollo Safety supplies to emergency services, fire departments, and hazmat teams across the country.
