LYNNWOOD, Wash. (AP) — Four people were treated at a hospital for carbon monoxide poisoning because a family was using charcoal briquets in a Lynnwood apartment fireplace without opening the damper.

Police says the family realized there was something wrong Thursday night when a boy passed out.

Firefighters assessed 14 people and took the boy and three others to Swedish Edmonds Hospital.

All units of the apartment building were briefly evacuated while firefighters ventilated the building.
