UNIVERSITY HEIGHTS - Eight people were displaced and three were injured after they were exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide Saturday morning in University Heights, fire officials said.
Fire crews responded at approximately 4 a.m. to 133 Parker Street to find eight people suffering with various symptoms consistent with carbon monoxide poisoning, said District Fire Chief Gregory A. Potter.
