The Framingham Fire Department says it was called to 5 and 7 Georgetown Drive at 9 a.m. and found "very high levels of CO due to a malfunctioning exhaust pipe."

Residents were able to return to their units as of 1 p.m., though the building remained without hot water and heat for more than 24 hours. A city official said heat and hot water were restored around 4:30 p.m. Sunday but later said it was shut off again and repairs would be made Monday.
The fire department said the boiler would remain shut down until repairs were complete and the city's plumbing inspector inspects it.
