One person was taken to the hospital and nearly 200 people were forced from their apartment building in Minneapolis after a carbon monoxide scare.
The Chateau Student Housing Co-op in Dinkytown consists mostly of student housing. Roughly 200 people were evacuated around 11 p.m. Wednesday.
Firefighters said they went door to door to make sure no one was inside the building as they investigated.
"We were scared; at first, they told us we didn't need to evacuate, but then they said there was carbon monoxide," Sydney Walsh, a tenant in the building, said. "We were like, maybe we should, but then they came back and told us they actually do need to evacuate." Crews said when they arrived, they found one worker in a basement who had been exposed to high levels of the colorless, odorless gas.
That person was sent to the hospital but is expected to be OK.
