Faulty boiler blamed for gas leak that sickened 50 in Kamloops

A faulty boiler is to blame for a carbon monoxide leak at a Kamloops arena Saturday that sent 50 people to hospital.

The arena had to be evacuated because the gas levels were so high – about 170 parts per million.

Interior health officials say people showed up into this morning complaining of headaches, nausea and confusion.

Fortis BC crews are repairing the boiler.
