Six adults and four children sustained various levels of poisoning, according to police. They were transported to different hospitals, Ottawa paramedics say.
All four children are in serious, but stable condition. One adult is in life-threatening condition. The other five are in serious, but stable condition.
Ottawa police say they received a call just after 9 a.m. reporting there were people in distress inside a home in the 200 block of Granville Street, north of Montreal Road.
When police arrived at the scene, they found ten people were in distress.
"There was a vehicle running inside the garage and the garage door was closed. Therefore, there wasn't sufficient ventilation for the exhaust coming out of the vehicle," said Insp. Scott Pettis with the Ottawa Police Service.
"It's our understanding that the family that lives at the address is new to Canada. They're not really familiar with the cold. And they did run their vehicle to make it warm for them to travel at some point. Not knowing that they then had to open their garage door to properly ventilate the area."
