Woodlawn, MD – The Baltimore Digest – Eight Woodlawn residents, including three children, were taken to area hospitals yesterday because of exposure to carbon monoxide gas, Baltimore County fire officials said.
About 10:30 a.m., the county Fire Department responded to the Chadwick Manor Townhomes in the first block of Chadnor Court, where residents complained of flu-like symptoms that stemmed from breathing the colorless, odorless, toxic gas, fire officials said.
