Terrell, TX (June 3, 2026) – Several people needed hospital care on Tuesday night, June 2, after high carbon monoxide levels were reported at a nursing and rehabilitation facility in Terrell. The report was posted around 9:38 p.m. for a facility in the 200 block of West Nash Street.
Emergency units were at the building, checking the source of the carbon monoxide. Six ground medical units were initially assigned, and more ambulances were requested from surrounding agencies.
An ambulance bus from Cedar Hill was also requested. A second ambulance bus was later called because numerous patients needed to be taken to hospitals.
No names, ages, or specific medical conditions were included in the initial report.
The carbon monoxide emergency remains under review as crews work to confirm how the exposure happened. We hope all patients affected receive the care they need and recover safely.
What Details Tend to Be Reviewed After Carbon Monoxide Exposure?
Carbon monoxide exposure can be dangerous because the gas is colorless and odorless. People may not realize they are breathing it until symptoms begin. Headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness, confusion, and trouble breathing can all be warning signs.
In larger buildings, crews often check heating systems, ventilation, appliances, and any equipment that may produce exhaust. Air readings can help determine where levels are highest and whether the building is safe to reenter.
Medical teams may evaluate blood oxygen levels and symptoms before deciding on the treatment needed. Some patients may need oxygen or additional monitoring at a hospital. In facilities with older adults or medically fragile patients, even short exposure can require careful evaluation.
