Mall Evacuated After Carbon Monoxide Incident

The Bertucci’s Restaurant at the Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester was evacuated and later, closed, earlier today after a carbon monoxide poisoning incident, according to Jeffrey Hastings of Frame of Mind Photography.

Hastings was at the scene and reported that right after opening at 11 a.m. on Oct. 19, customers began showing signs of having carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms. Alarms also began to sound. Manchester Fire and Rescue teams arrived and found an “extremely high reading” of 114 PPM and evacuated the entire mall.

“All people were removed from Bertucci’s, multiple MFD units responded as well as AMR Paramedics,” Hastings reported “All victims were treated in the parking lot while MFD vented the building and tried to detect/isolate the problem. This is the second Sunday in a row that Bertucci’s has had the issue and had to evacuate.”

After about 45 minutes, the cause was determined to be from the HVAC unit. The Manchester Health Department was brought in and the restaurant was closed.
