WEBSTER, N.Y. — A Webster resident is in serious condition at a hospital after suffering carbon monoxide poisoning.

The incident has prompted changes for ambulance services in the area.

Syed Mustafa with Northeast Quadrant Advanced Life Support says they responded to Railway Crossing Tuesday night and found an unresponsive person.

While helping that person, one of the first responders saw two cats unresponsive and thought to check the carbon monoxide detectors, finding both were not functional.

Mustafa says if it were not for the cats, his crews could have been seriously hurt as well.

He is now installing carbon monoxide detectors for all of the ambulances.
