Fire crews located high levels of carbon monoxide at an apartment building in Dayton Saturday afternoon, according to Dayton Fire Department District Chief Chris Kinzler.
Around 1 p.m., Dayton Fire crews responded to a wellness check call on 427 Middle Street at the Senior Village of Dayton View apartment building.

When they entered the building, their portable oxygen and carbon monoxide monitors immediately went off.
“They were very suspicious that something was going on,” Kinzler said.
Fire crews then used their larger monitors to confirm the high levels of carbon monoxide.
“They investigated the carbon monoxide, and they found the boiler room is related to a defective boiler, so they quickly ventilated the building,” Kinzler said.
Property management and CenterPoint were called out to the building.
“(Ladder 13 crews) opened the building up very quickly and subsequently shut the gas down on the boiler,” Kinzler said.
