On December 4, at 04:41, the Rescue Service “101” received a report that in the village Lishna on the street Bologna, Drohobytsky district, in a brick residential building, the owners, a man and a woman born in 1956, need medical help and cannot open the door on their own.
With the help of a chance tool, the rescuers opened the door of the house and entered the house in special respiratory protection devices. During the inspection of the house, the rescuers found a woman on the floor near the door and an unconscious man on the bed in one of the rooms.
The rescuers took the victims to fresh air and handed them over to doctors for further examination.
Doctors, after examination, previously with carbon monoxide poisoning, hospitalized the victims in Drohobytsk City Hospital No. 1 in a state of moderate severity.
As it turned out, no gas leak was detected in the house, the lack of draft in the furnace arose due to a closed damper.
