NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - High readings of carbon monoxide were found inside a Norfolk hotel early Monday morning.
Capt. Mike Hicks with Norfolk Fire and Rescue said dispatchers received a call for a possible gas leak at the Tazewell Hotel on Granby Street. When fire crews arrived on scene, they found small levels of gas in the alley behind the building.
Fire crews went inside and found high readings of carbon monoxide in the basement of the hotel itself, Hicks said. Crews then moved up to the lobby area and continued to find readings of carbon monoxide.
Norfolk Fire and Rescue evacuated the Tazewell.
