The 150 people who were this Saturday afternoon in the Puigcerdà pavilion (Girona) watching an ice hockey match between Puigcerdà and the Millennium of Logroño have had to be evicted due to the presence of high levels of carbon monoxide in the air coming from the ice smoothing machine on the rink, which runs on butane.
The Firefighters of the Generalitat, who have worked on the event together with the Mossos d'Esquadra and the Local Police, have reported it through social networks. The warning came at 4:06 p.m., when the Emergency Medical System (SEM) attended to a person who had symptoms of intoxication. After verifying the presence of high levels of carbon monoxide (values of 150pp have been reached), the firefighters have moved three teams to the sports center and the 150 people who were in the enclosure have been evacuated. 12 of the people treated by the SEM have had to be transferred to the Cerdanya Hospital with "mild" and "less mild" prognoses, according to the SEM.
