Carbon monoxide makes family ill in hotel

A family staying in a Maryland hotel had to be hospitalized after being made sick due to carbon monoxide poisoning.  Emergency crews detected high levels of carbon monoxide and were trying to identify the source.

The hotel where this family was sickened is in Maryland resort town.  This carbon monoxide poisoning incident took place at the start of the vacation season when many vacation properties are just being opened up for the summer vacation season.

This accident should serve as a reminder to have all gas burning equipment in vacation properties checked at the start of the summer season so as to prevent any carbon monoxide poisoning deaths and injuries.
