A four-year-old child and her father were hospitalized on Thursday due to elevated carbon monoxide levels from shisha smoke in an apartment in Vienna-Simmering.
The mother first complained of stomach pain and alerted the emergency services. Upon entering the apartment, the CO detector of the emergency personnel went off, as Andreas Huber, spokesperson for the Vienna professional rescue service, announced on Friday. The cause was likely the heated coals of the water pipe.
Father and Four-Year-Old Not in Critical Condition After CO Alarm
The mother, as well as a teenager and a young adult who were also in the apartment, did not need to be hospitalized. The four-year-old and her father were not in critical condition. The professional fire brigade checked the rooms and extinguished the remaining coals, said professional fire brigade spokesperson Christian Feiler.
