THREE children and six adults are in hospital after a carbon monoxide leak in a block of flats yesterday.
The London Fire Brigade (LFB) were called to Taywood Road, in the Grand Union Village, Northolt, at about 8.30am on Thursday (19). Firefighters evacuated and ventilated the building by 10.30am.
The cause of the leak is unknown and an investigation has been launched. Carbon monoxide is a toxic, colourless gas used in kitchen hobs. The LFB advised residents to install a carbon monoxide detector.
Neighbour Jan Wilford said: "I know three families have been taken away to hospital. The fire brigade have been wonderful, they're now clearing the area. It happened in the block of flats."
