"Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless so you wouldn't smell it, you won't see it. So, we always recommend every residence, every business has a carbon monoxide detector so you can pick that up," Chief Steve Swan told KETV.
Officials say two people were taken to the hospital because of the leak. They say the facility is safe and every resident will stay there.
