A total of five units were evacuated with no occupants reporting any medical complaints. A large scale evacuation is not anticipated. The HVAC ducting is still producing high readings for carbon monoxide and it is turned off. The readings of hydrogen cyanide are decreasing but remain detectable in the most heavily affected corner of the building. However, as firefighters move away from those few units, the readings return to normal levels. ; FS 41; Batt 5; West Bureau; Council District 4; BC5 E21 E221 E227 E261 E27 E41 EA1 JT1 RA21 RA82 SQ21 T27 T61; CH7; 13; Margaret Stewart

Multiple carbon monoxide alarms activated on the 1st and 2nd occupied floors. Firefighters made entry and the 5-sensor gas monitor indicated the presence of hydrogen cyanide as well as carbon monoxide, predominately in one corner of the building on the 1st occupied floor. Occupants of the three units in the area of highest concentration were evacuated and the units are being ventilated. Additionally, firefighters are evacuating the units above those, on the 2nd occupied floor. All others are being sheltered in place while firefighters continue to check levels in the surrounding units (it is dropping off significantly as they move further down the hall). There were construction workers doing repairs (including welding) on the ducting for the heating/air conditioning in the most affected unit. LAFD Hazardous Materials Squad is responding and consulting with the Incident Commander while enroute. At this time, there are no occupants with medical complaints.; FS 41; Batt 5; West Bureau; Council District 4; BC5 E21 E221 E41 RA21 RA82 SQ21; CH7; 13; Margaret Stewart
