PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - Fire officials say five residents of a Providence apartment building were taken to the hospital with symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Battalion Chief Jason Houle says one of the victims, a girl of about 5, was vomiting.
Firefighters went to University Heights on Roger Williams Green at about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday after the people living in one unit woke up feeling ill. They did not appear to have had a working carbon monoxide detector in their unit.
The source of the carbon monoxide appears to be a faulty heating unit. High levels of the gas were detected in the apartment.
He says off of the victims are expected to be OK.
