Six families, consisting of nine children, one pregnant woman and 11 adults, are homeless after firefighters and code enforcement officers discovered deadly levels of carbon monoxide following two carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in Tamaqua yesterday.
The first call came in just before noon after tenants living at 332 West Broad St. called 911 after one of them started throwing up and the CO detector alarm went off. When police and firefighters arrived, they found levels of CO in the home to be above 170 parts per million.
