More than 45 people have been hospitalized, over a dozen in critical condition, after a carbon monoxide leak at a hotel in central Canada.
加拿大中部一家酒店發(fā)生一氧化碳泄漏事件,目前已有超過45人住院治療,其中十幾人傷勢嚴重。
The carbon monoxide leak originated in a boiler room at a Super 8 hotel in Winnipeg, Manitoba's capital and largest city. An automatic alarm was triggered, bringing the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service to the scene, Chief John Lane said at a press conference Tuesday.
一氧化碳泄漏源于溫尼伯——馬尼托巴的首都和最大的城市——的一家Super8酒店的鍋爐房。約翰萊恩局長在周二的一次新聞發(fā)布會上說,自動報警系統(tǒng)檢測到泄露情況,溫尼伯消防救護服務(wù)人員第一時間趕到了現(xiàn)場。
There were 52 people at the hotel, including staff, and 46 were transported to local hospitals, with at least 15 in critical condition and five in unstable condition, Lane said. One dog was also removed from the hotel and treated by Winnipeg Animal Services.
萊恩說,酒店包括工作人員在內(nèi)共有52人,46人被送往當?shù)蒯t(yī)院,其中至少15人情況危急,5人情況不穩(wěn)定。還救出了一條狗,目前由溫尼伯動物服務(wù)中心治療。
The readings inside the hotel were 385 parts per million, according to the City of Winnipeg. A reading of over 150 to 200 parts per million can be fatal, according to the U.S. government's Consumer Protection Safety Commission.
根據(jù)溫尼伯市的數(shù)據(jù),酒店內(nèi)的檢測值為每百萬分之385。根據(jù)美國政府消費者保護安全委員會的數(shù)據(jù),每百萬分之150至200的數(shù)據(jù)就有致命危險。
"The crew immediately put on their [masks] and began evacuating the hotel," Lane said.
萊恩表示“工作人員立即戴上面具,開始疏散酒店。”
Officials said they do not believe any of the patients in the hospital are at risk of dying.
有關(guān)官員說,救治人員目前均沒有生命危險。
"I'm very happy to say none of the patients were requiring resuscitation," Lane said. "None of them were intubated or anything. But their carbon monoxide levels were such that they were in the critical category."
萊恩也表示:“慶幸的是,目前沒有人需要緊急復(fù)蘇。他們都沒有接受插管或其他治療。但一氧化碳泄露嚴重,以至于他們處于危急狀態(tài)。”
Manitoba Hydro Electric Energy and Natural Gas is investigating the cause of the CO gas leak.
