Just after 6:00pm Clackamas Fire District # 1 was dispatched to Frog Pond Lane in Estacada for a report of carbon monoxide poisoning.  

Crews arrived on scene and found the source of the poisoning to be propane powered equipment being used in an enclosed structure without proper ventilation.

Crews quickly went to work performing patient care on four victims while securing the source of the carbon monoxide poisoning, ventilating the structure and monitoring carbon monoxide levels.

One person was transported to Randall Children’s Hospital for observation.

Crews on scene included Engine 330, Hazmat 303, Truck 319, BC 301, three AMR units, an AMR Supervisor and Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

Clackamas Fire District would like to remind you that when using propane powered equipment you should have proper ventilation. In addition, carbon monoxide alarms should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards.

If the carbon monoxide alarm sounds, immediately move to a fresh air location outdoors or by an open window or door. Make sure everyone inside the home is accounted for. Call for help from a fresh air location and stay there until emergency personnel declare that it is safe to re-enter the home.
