Officials respond to possible CO incident in North Philly, 4 hospitalized

NORTH PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) - Four people were rushed to the hospital from what appears to be carbon monoxide poisoning on Sunday afternoon.

Two of the people affected called the gas company to get help, and they think that's what saved their lives.

Ruth Moore and her fiancee Melvin Jones were released from the hospital on Sunday night. They both say they're lucky to still be alive.

"I was waking up every twenty minutes," said Jones. "Every half an hour. So I knew something was wrong."

Readings were taken on every house and residents are safe, according to the fire department.

No firefighters were injured. The Fire Mashall's office is investigating the case.
