About 100 N.J. Children Evacuated After Carbon Monoxide Scare In Playgroup: Police

About 100 children in an Ocean County playgroup were evacuated after a carbon monoxide scare, according to police.

A "mass casualty incident" order was declared but Lakewood police declared there were no casualties.

Lakewood police did not provide specifics on the Noam Lane facility, where ambulances and emergency vehicles lined the streets on Lakewood Scoop's Periscope feed.

Lakewood police said the carbon monoxide detector showed high readings, and emergency services followed the normal protocol for evacuation.

Children were being transported on buses away from the facility at press time.

We'll have more information as it becomes available.
