SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Six people were taken to a hospital after they experienced carbon monoxide poisoning in Campo Wednesday morning, according to Cal Fire San Diego.
Cal Fire public information officer Mike Cornette confirmed to ABC 10News that firefighters responded to a residence in the 1700 block of N Campo Truck Trail at 11:10 a.m. Six people were at that location, four children and two adults, and they were taken to Sharp Grossmont Hospital for treatment, per Cornette.
Fire teams told 10News that the group of six was using a generator for electricity and placed it too close to their home, causing the carbon monoxide poisoning.
As of 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, information on the patients' status was not shared with ABC 10News.
The incident happened on the Campo Reservation.
Campo was among the communities affected by San Diego Gas & Electric's public safety power shutoff, which was issued due to the recent high fire risk conditions. SDGE's website indicates power has been partially restored on the reservation.
This is a developing story. ABC 10News sent a reporter to the area to gather more information.
