One person is confirmed dead in the aftermath of a carbon monoxide incident in northeast Calgary on Tuesday afternoon. Paramedics rushed to save the lives of two people at a house in Martindale. The call came in around 4:20 p.m. The fire department says someone came to the home and discovered the victims. One person was taken to hospital in serious but stable condition. CPR was performed on a second person, but they were not transported, according to fire officials. It was later confirmed the person had died. Carbon monoxide levels in the home were quite high, at 360 parts per million. Firefighters typically will evacuate a building when CO is between 25 and 50 parts per million. Atco and the fire department are investigating what may have caused the CO buildup, including checking a gas generator on site and other appliances. Those checks will take some time. Meanwhile, the house was being aired out on Tuesday night. No further information about the victims has been released at this time.
