NIXA, Mo. — Just before 4 p.m. Wednesday, the Nixa Fire District was requested for a man with chest pain in the 1200 block of Ashley Drive. When crews started to evaluate the patient, the carbon monoxide alarm on the EMS kit started to alert “high” readings in the building.
Nixa firefighters quickly evacuated the building and continued to treat the patient outside. Another Nixa crew responded and found readings inside the building of over 700 parts per million. This reading could be fatal in just a few hours of exposure.
A second ambulance was requested for other patients exposed to the carbon monoxide. Only one patient was transported; two were treated and released on the scene.
