Tulsa Firefighters say a family of four was treated for carbon monoxide poisoning.

It happened about 3:30 Tuesday morning in the 12000 block of E 18th St.

Hazmat crews detected a reading of 145 parts per million, and as high as 245 parts per million in one of the bedrooms.  The Tulsa Fire Department considers anything above 35 parts per million dangerous.

Gas levels were also high, and could have caused an explosion.  

Crews found the heater in the bathroom wall was leaking.

A 4-year-old girl, a 12-year-old girl, a 28-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman were treated at the scene and were admitted to the hospital in fair condition.
