After a Burlington office building was evacuated because of high carbon monoxide levels, repairs were made making the building safe again.

Carbon monoxide alarms starting sounding Wednesday afternoon, November 19, 2014, leading to an evacuation of the Peterson Building.

Fire Marshal Mark Crooks said the repairs to the chimney for the boiler that were needed were completed on Thursday morning.

“Alliant Energy turned the gas back on and the boiler was test fired with Alliant Energy and the City Inspection Department monitoring,” Crooks said. “The repairs were successful and the Building Inspector removed the placards.”

Crooks confirmed the building was then allowed to be reoccupied.
