The spokesperson said the carbon monoxide reader registered 1,000 parts per million after first responders entered the parkade, which is deadly after one hour. Seven people were transported to hospital in non-life-threatening condition.
The rest of the building was reading zero parts per million, the CFD said.
Firefighters are working on ventilating the parkade and have blocked the exits and elevators.
