SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Four people — one adult, two kids, and an infant — were taken to a local hospital after experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning.

Sacramento Fire Department Public Information Officer Keith Wade said around 5:30 p.m. Friday residents at an apartment building at 999 Arcade Boulevard called PG&E for an issue. Once at the apartment, PG&E ascertained that the wall heater had a carbon monoxide build-up. 

At that point, Wade said the residents complained of symptoms related to carbon monoxide poisoning, and PG&E called the fire department.

Wade says the four people were taken to the hospital and at last check were in stable condition and their injuries were not life-threatening.

He went on to say that PG&E checked the rest of the apartments since they all had wall heaters, but the trouble was only isolated to the one apartment.
