Gas Leak Spurs Evacuation At Downtown Syracuse Hotel
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Officials say a downtown Syracuse hotel has been evacuated on New Year's Day because of a carbon monoxide leak, and five people were taken to a hospital.
Emergency personnel responded to the Genesee Grande Hotel around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. The hotel is not far from Syracuse University.
Syracuse Police Detective George Hack says the five people were taken to a hospital as a precaution.
It's was not immediately clear how many people were at the hotel at the time of the evacuation.
Power company National Grid says crews traced the source of the leak to a faulty heating boiler. That's according to spokeswoman Virginia Limmiatis.
A call requesting comment was made to the hotel's general manager.
