One Man Hospitalised From Fumes In East Side Building

The Fire Department's Haz Mat Unit was called into action last night after receiving an ammonia alarm from the Peter Murray Arena. It was checked out but no readings were found. Earlier, District Chief Mark Wilson says they went to 95 Belmont Street after getting a call about fumes in the building. Two men were feeling unwell and one was taken to hospital.
It turns out a gas powered cutter was being operated in the basement of the building but there wasn't enough ventilation. Fire crews also had to extinguish a fire last night under a baby barn on Wyatt Crescent.
