Orange County Fire Authority paramedics were called at about 8:30 a.m. to an apartment on Fahrquar Avenue near Maple Street to treat the sickened residents, OCFA Capt. Greg Barta said.
Los Alamitos police officers arrived first, said Community Liaison Officer Hannah Martinez.
“Officers administered CPR to both individuals until Orange County Fire Authority arrived,” Martinez said. “One individual was transported to a local hospital by paramedics to receive treatment. Unfortunately, the second individual was pronounced deceased at the scene by Orange County Fire Authority.”
The patients had apparently become ill due to chemicals, Barta said. The incident was upgraded to a hazardous materials response.

Residents in the building were evacuated and roadways were closed as a precautionary safety measure, Martinez said. “Due to the critical nature of drug labs, Orange County Fire Authority’s Hazmat Team and additional resources were called and rendered the scene safe,” she said.
