Garage Door Left Open While Generator Operating
Rescue crews said the house didn't have power, and the people inside were running a generator outside the home.
A garage door was open, which allowed exhaust from the generator to get inside the home.
Fire rescue says the carbon monoxide levels were four times the amount where people start to feel sick.
The sheriff's office said no foul play is suspected.
