A severe case of carbon monoxide poisoning struck an entire family unit in the hamlet of Ponte a Moriano, located within the province of Lucca. The members involved are four people, including two young children aged one and three, respectively. According to what was reported by the news outlet RaiNews, the domestic emergency required a timely mobilization of rescue teams in the Tuscan territory.

The general alarm was raised at around three o'clock in the morning, at which point the occupants of the house began to experience the first physical symptoms. Healthcare workers from the 118 emergency service arrived rapidly at the home together with fire brigade teams, who detected the presence of the harmful gas in the premises.

The thirty-year-old father, who initially appeared to be in the most critical health condition, was the first patient to be taken urgently to the hospital in Lucca. Immediately afterwards, the mother and the two young children were also transferred to the same medical facility to allow for the necessary clinical examinations.

Following the examinations carried out in the emergency department in Lucca, the medical staff arranged the transfer of the entire family to the Santa Chiara hospital in Pisa for hyperbaric chamber therapy. Firefighters simultaneously initiated the necessary technical checks in the building to clarify the exact origin of the toxic fumes.
