Emergency crews responded to a medical call for a person without vital signs on a property on Evertsen Road in Hamilton Township just north of Bewdley.
One person has died and four Hamilton Township firefighters were sent to hospital for suspected carbon monoxide poisoning on Monday afternoon.
Around 2:30 p.m., emergency crews responded to a medical call for a person without vital signs on a property on Evertsen Road in Hamilton Township, five kilometres north of the village of Bewdley (35 kilometres south of Peterborough).
Firefighters arrived first and located a man without vital signs inside a large storage building and began administering CPR.
Township fire Chief Kelley Serson says a short time later a Northumberland County paramedic supervisor arrived on scene. Serson says when the supervisor entered the building, a CO alarm on their uniform was activated, indicating dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
The man and four fighters were transported to Northumberland Hills Hospital in Cobourg to be treated for CO poisoning.
Serson says the victim was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The individual’s name has not been released.
The investigation is ongoing involving Northumberland OPP and investigators with the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), who are expected to arrive on scene Tuesday.
