Carbon monoxide leak at Terrell nursing home sends two to hospital, authorities say
A carbon‑monoxide leak at a Terrell nursing home on Tuesday night sent two people to the hospital, officials said.
The leak was reported about 6:30 p.m. in the 200 block of W. Nash Street, where Terrell firefighters began investigating.
Kaufman County Emergency Manager Steve Howie said five people from Terrell Healthcare Center were evaluated, and two were hospitalized, none with critical injuries.
Howie said residents were moved to an area with lower carbon‑monoxide levels while crews ventilated the building with fans.
