At approximately 2:15 p.m. on October 8, 2004, Employee #1 of the Advanced Building Systems Incorporation was sweeping and cleaning debris throughout the first floor. In the meantime, the employees from the Advanced Building Systems were using the saw to cut trenches into the existing concrete floor.

The saw was in use from approximately 10:00 a.m. till 2:15 p.m. The saw was a source of the carbon monoxide that Employee #1 was exposed to. The Advanced Building Systems' foreman removed Employee #1 from the building and called for the ambulance. The police and fire department arrived on the scene.
