Nine people were taken to the hospital after they were exposed to carbon monoxide in a Commerce City home on Wednesday afternoon, according to the South Adams County Fire Department.
First responders were called about people feeling sick in a multi-family home near East 69th Place and Olive Street at 12:46 p.m., agency officials said.
There were no carbon monoxide alarms in the home, but people living there called 911 after feeling dizzy and getting headaches, spokesperson Maria Carabajal said.
Carbon monoxide is an colorless and odorless gas that can come from space heaters, generators, furnaces and fireplaces, and exposure can be fatal.
Fire crews detected high levels of carbon monoxide in the home and evacuated the homeowners, and nine people were taken to the hospital for medical evaluation.
The incident is under investigation, but the leak was likely caused by the furnace in the home, which was recently serviced, Carabajal said.
