Firefighters treated after being exposed to gasses from burning coal

Firefighters working on the Taylor Creek Fire in southeast Montana on Friday the 13th were treated at the Ashland Clinic after mopping up a hot spot that turned out to be a surface seam of coal. The seven firefighters suffered from nausea caused by sulfur dioxide. They all returned to duty later that day.
