TULSA, OK -- Firefighters responded to a Tulsa middle school Monday morning because of carbon monoxide problems.
Firefighters with the Tulsa Fire Department were sent to Byrd Middle School at 7502 East 57th Street at about 11:00 a.m.
Construction is underway on the school's north gym. Tulsa Public School spokesperson Tami Marler said a construction worker began experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms.

Firefighter Tim Smallwood said the worker was taken to a Tulsa hospital.
Smallwood said firefighters found a CO reading of 55 PPM in the construction area.
No one was evacuated because the construction area was already closed off.
