Firefighters on scene discovered high levels of carbon monoxide in the property. Police believe fumes from a boiler could be responsible.

“A heating unit, a boiler, is believed to be the source of the carbon monoxide. The initial readings when EMS and firefighters arrived were extremely high, so we are treating this as a carbon monoxide poisoning incident,” said Det. Sgt. Jonathan Koretzky of Solebury Twp. Police Department.

Two paramedics and a Twp from Solebury were taken to Doylestown Hospital for carbon monoxide exposure. The police officer was treated at the scene.

The circumstances surrounding this incident remain under investigation.

Real estate records show the home is owned by actor Marc Blucas and his wife, journalist and producer Ryan Haddon Blucas. They purchased the property in 2012 for $1 million.

Marc Blucas appears in an interview with the Hallmark Channel discussing the renovation of the 18th century home. He is known for roles in the films “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Hallmark.”
