FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Carbon monoxide felled two workers power washing the basement of an unfinished Elm Street house addition early Thursday morning, authorities said.
The workers, Ramone Cabrera, 32, of Summit, and Janio Andrade, 25, of Elizabeth, were using a gasoline-fueled power washer when they were overtaken by carbon monoxide, apparently from the unit’s exhaust.
Both men fell ill, but one of them managed to call 9-1-1.
