It saved our lives

Jeremy and I had a scare last night. Our carbon monoxide detector alarm went off. We called the fire dept and they detected carbon monoxide in our bedrooms and in the hallway next to the water heater (the source of it). It's just like they say, we had no sense of it. Symptoms of intoxication are nausea and sleepiness. We were getting ready for bed, we were all tired anyway. We wouldn't have recognized that, and nausea doesn't set in until you have been exposed for a little while. Anyway, the firemen used a big fan to clear our house of it and reset the detector. They turned off the heat to our water heater and told us not to turn it back on until it was replaced or fixed. So, now we don't have hot water--a small price to pay. Our landlady had just installed these detectors before christmas. We would not be here today without it's warning. Please everyone, if you don't already have one, install a carbon monoxide detector.

Much love and gratitude,

Laura, Jeremy, Paul, and Katie
