Atlanta elementary school reopens after carbon monoxide scare

Furnace maintenance leak at Finch Elementary released dangerous fumes
Dec. 7, 2012

From The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Students and staff returned to Finch Elementary School in Atlanta, where dozens of children and adults began the week being treated for carbon monoxide poisoning. The students of Finch attended classes for three days at a nearby middle school while authorities worked to determine the root of the carbon monoxide leak. District officials say the failure of two maintenance workers to reopen a valve on a furnace after a Nov. 30 inspection was the cause of the leak.
