Hadley FD trucks and Amherst FD ambulances on scene Maple Farms Foods

A very large number of first responders are at the scene of a carbon monoxide incident at Maple Farms Foods on South Maple Street in Hadley.

One victim has already been transported to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, the nearest hospital with a critical care unit and at least one other has been transported to Cooley Dickinson in Northampton.

Apparently the problem was caused by use of a forklift inside the building and the person who was operating it was the one transported to Baystate Medical Center.

About a half-dozen shoppers were also being evaluated by AFD after exhibiting symptoms of possible carbon monoxide poisoning.
