Emergency crews were called to the 1800 block of Albert Street in Regina around 10 p.m. last night after a carbon monoxide (CO) incident forced several residents from their homes and sent two people to the hospital.
In a post on X, Regina Fire said firefighters were on scene alongside paramedics, SaskEnergy and Regina Police Service. Authorities said residents would not be allowed to return until the source is confirmed and the building — Metro 1827 apartments — is deemed safe.
Anderson Builders Group website says 69 residential units were built there in 2018.

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous and flammable gas. It’s produced when carbon-containing fuels, such as gasoline, wood, or natural gas, aren’t burned completely. Carbon monoxide poisoning is one of the most common types of fatal air poisonings.
Regina Fire Marshal Randy Ryba told CJME News last year that carbon monoxide is a silent killer.
“It’s about the same buoyancy as air, so it moves through the house. It’s odourless, colourless, and our call volumes go up dramatically in the heating season,” he said.
Provincial regulations require CO alarms in every residential structure in the province, with one CO alarm on every level of a home, and a CO alarm within 16 feet of all bedroom doors.
Even though you can’t smell or see the gas, there are some very noticeable signs you have been exposed to it.
Acute exposure can lead to long-term neurological effects such as cognitive and behavioural changes.
Chronic exposure to low concentrations of CO can lead to lethargy, headaches, nausea, and flu-like symptoms and, in a worst case scenario, severe exposure can ultimately lead to unconsciousness, coma, and death.
It’s recommended people change out carbon monoxide alarms out every eight to 10 years.
