Tuesday morning, June 3, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Services (MCFRS) were alerted to the HazMat Box on Rockville Pike at the Forum Apartments. Investigation showed high CO levels on multiple floors. The building was evacuated and EMS evaluated residents. No injuries were reported. HazMat crews performed ventilation and identified a malfunctioning water heater as the source of the CO. The incident was declared under control by the time I arrived.
Here are some apparatus shots.
