Some residents of General Macarthur Senior Village in Hempstead were wheeled out into the sub-freezing air early Saturday morning.
That's when a carbon monoxide alarm went off.
Five residents were taken to Nassau County Medical Center as a precaution.
Police say a leak in the facility's heating system set off the alarm.
No one was injured and that leak is now fixed.
