A hotel in Kentucky was evacuated due to a carbon monoxide gas leak. The incident occurred on October 12, 2020, at the LaQuinta Inn & Suites in Florence.

When crews arrived at the hotel, Knoll said it was apparent they were dealing with a carbon monoxide leak. Knoll said there were high levels of gas in the pool area and that the leak was traced to the swimming pool heater.
