CRANDON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Officials say carbon monoxide is to blame after 39 patients received medical attention at the Crandon school district building.
The building was evacuated Thursday after two students and one staff member fell ill with the same symptoms.
The Oneida County and Wausau hazmat teams were requested by the Forest County Sheriff’s Office to assist. Oneida and Wausau hazmat determined it was a mechanical issue with the furnace that created elevated levels of carbon monoxide inside the school.
Area hospitals were contacted and it was reported 39 patients received medical attention related to this event at the Crandon school. Of the 39 patients, two had reported elevated levels of carbon monoxide.
Classes were canceled Friday. The district will announce when classes will resume.
