MADISON, Wis. — The residents of a home on Madison’s west side were forced to evacuate early Saturday after a carbon monoxide alarm was activated.
Madison Fire Department crews were called to the 7300 block of Whitacre Road just after 2 a.m. The residents of the two-story home had already evacuated and no injuries were reported.
Carbon monoxide readings in the mid-50s were found on the first floor and in the 70s on the second floor. The furnace and water heater were shut off and pressure fans were used to ventilate the home.
The residents were eventually allowed to return to their home.
