Confirmed Phosgene Gas release

It's on the CBS 3 website now. Carbon Monoxide leak at Salon Le Toile. 25 people affected.

Carbon Monoxide was the first report - now it is confirmed to be a Phosgene Gas that was released in the building. Also still an unknown liquid spill that they are trying to investigate as to how it all relates. A lot of man power on seen and the East side of MontCo is emptying out quick! They are starting to release some of the BLS units though, from what I have heard – it sounds like they are starting to decon and vent the building.
