CHICAGO (CBS) -- Three people were rushed to the hospital because of high levels of carbon monoxide in a Logan Square apartment building Friday night.

Chicago firefighters were called Friday evening to a 25-unit apartment building at Armitage and Kedzie avenues.

High carbon monoxide readings were detected in one section of the courtyard building.

The Chicago Fire Department called a hazmat response.

The Fire Department said the scene was secure as of 9 p.m. Friday, and investigators from the gas company were looking for the source of the carbon monoxide.

Saturday a spokesperson for Peoples Gas said the cause of the incident was unrelated to their equipment and seems to have been related to the boiler.
