Firefighters were dispatched to the building at 2011 North Kedzie Avenue before 9 p.m. According to officials, a 46-year-old man and a 19-year-old guy were sent to Ascension Saint Mary Hospital. A third person, an eight-year-old girl, was sent to Stroger Hospital.

High levels of carbon monoxide were discovered in one portion of the courtyard building. The Chicago Fire Department asked for a hazardous response.

The Fire Department said that the situation was secure as of 9 p.m. Friday, and gas company investigators were looking for the source of the carbon monoxide.

On Saturday, a Peoples Gas official stated that the event was unrelated to their equipment and appeared to be related to the boiler.
