The Syracuse Fire Department (SFD) has been overwhelmed with calls lately, mitigating multiple fire calls along with three different Haz-Mat incidents within a week.
According to the SFD, on October 31 at approximately 3:32 p.m., Syracuse firefighters were called to 109 S. Warren St., the State Tower Building, for a carbon monoxide detector activation.
Crews arrived at the 20-story building and navigated the building using Haz-Mat metering devices that measure the concentration of different gases.
During their investigation, SFD reports that they confirmed elevated levels of carbon monoxide throughout the building.
They assisted occupants out of the building and a team of 15 firefighters worked to ventilate the area of the toxic air.
