Three women aged between 21 and 50 have been taken to La Inmaculada Hospital in Huércal-Overa after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning in a flat in Albox, according to the Andalusian Emergencies Agency (EMA-112).
At around 10:45 this Monday, the 061 health emergency service alerted the 112 emergency line and requested the assistance of the fire service and other security forces because there were three people unconscious and with symptoms of poisoning in a home.
The Levante fire service, the Guardia Civil (Spain’s Civil Guard) and the local police went to the scene. Because of the high build-up of butane gas in the building, the residents of the block were evacuated.
According to Noticias de Almería, medical staff stabilised the three women before taking them to hospital. The causes of the leak are being investigated and, for the time being, their state of health has not been made public.
