“We did have life-threatening levels of carbon monoxide in the pool area of the hotel and we transported several people to local hospitals,” Marysville Fire Divison Chief Jay Riley said in a statement to the Dayton Daily News. “We continue the investigation into the source and are glad that no one died as a result of their exposure.”
Nine people were taken to Memorial Hospital in Marysville and four others walked in. Two people were evaluated at the scene, officials said.
In 911 calls, people complained about dizziness and burning in their throat, authorities said.
“The Hampton Inn Marysville is fully cooperating with the local authorities as they investigate this incident,” a spokesperson for the hotel said in a statement.
The hotel was evacuated and remained that way overnight.
