PLATTSMOUTH - The Hy-Vee store at Plattsmouth was temporarily evacuated Tuesday morning.

Steve Warga of Cassgram filed this report.

Warga: “Everyone was ordered out of the Plattsmouth store after a gas smell was detected. Plattsmouth fire department: …shortly after arrival, the call was upgraded to a carbon monoxide incident due to high levels detected inside the store.

Several parties experienced symptoms of CO exposure. This necessitated the evacuation of the store. Black Hills Energy also responded. Once the source was isolated, ventilation operations began with continual air monitoring being done.

 Plattsmouth EMS checked and or treated nearly 20 people but no one required transport to the hospital. “We want to thank the Hy-Vee staff for their quick thinking to initially report this and their outstanding cooperation.”
