Two construction workers were hospitalized after exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide at a worksite in Boca Raton, Florida. The incident occurred on Tuesday morning, March 10, 2026, around 10:11 a.m., in the 1100 block of 20th Avenue. Boca Raton Fire Rescue responded after a call reported an unwell and unconscious worker. Firefighters used monitors to confirm dangerously elevated carbon monoxide levels inside a home, where a work crew had been operating power equipment, which authorities believe caused the buildup of the odorless, deadly gas.
One worker, who had become unconscious, was airlifted to St. Mary’s Hospital for evaluation and treatment. A second worker was transported by ambulance to the same facility. Other crew members on site were also evaluated, though the precise number was not specified. The emergency highlighted the risks of using gas-powered tools in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces without proper precautions. No fatalities were reported, and further details on the workers’ conditions were not immediately available in the report.
