Firefighters rescue 5 unconscious kids, mother from Fort Worth home after car left running

The Fort Worth Fire Department gave an update in a news conference Tuesday about five children and their mother who were hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning Monday night.

Around 8 p.m. Monday, the Fort Worth Fire Department received a call from a child who told officials that her mom was not feeling well.

Five firefighters responded to the 5800 block of Orleans Lane. The girl who made the call answered the door to the firefighters and said, “Mama, upstairs,” right before collapsing in front of them, according to the fire department.

When the firefighters were carrying the girl out of the home, they also saw other children and the woman, who were unconscious and laid out on the floor throughout the home.

The firefighters brought the five children and the woman out from the residence. The identities of the children and the woman have not been released.

Fire crews found a car with the engine left running in the garage of the home. It is unknown how long the car was left on.

All doors, including the garage door, were closed when crews arrived at the scene, according to the fire department.
