OT Scary Story

I just got off the phone with my youngest sister, who lives in Utah and last
night her daughter's carbon monoxide detector went off at 3 am. She took it
outside and it stopped beeping, then when she took it back in the apt, it
went off again, so she called 911 and got her and her 2 small kids outside.
Her neighbor's CM alarm had also gone off, but he just took the batteries
out and went back to sleep, with his elderly wife. Well, there were about 4
fire trucks, aid cars etc there, and right before they were going to kick
the neighbor's door down, the man groggily answered the door.
They could have all been killed, and my neice was being 'watched over' IMO.
Had to share that
Thank God they're safe

Wow, that was a close call! I'm glad they were OK. And what a dumb
thing for the neighbor to do - those things are there for a reason!!

Are there other apartments in the building? I wonder if everyone had
problems?

A friend had a wife who always burned things when cooking, He took the
batteries out of the smoke alarm. She was killed one night when the place
caught on fire and they didn't wake up in time. Such a silly thing to do.

Yeah, that was a dumb thing for the neighbor to do and it nearly cost him
his life.

It's just a duplex, I think, and the furnaces have to be replaced. So I
guess, yeah, others had the same problem. It gets into the 20''s at night
there and the new furnaces won't be in till next week.

I keep intending to buy one of those but so far haven't got a round tuit,
your post comes as a timely reminder. So glad your niece and her neighbours
are safe.

We have electric heat, so no worries about that here.

So glad your niece and her neighbours

We have CM detectors, heat alarms, smoke alarms etc (our main fire
alarm has been out of order for 5 years) and they are checked annually
along with the boiler- funnily enough they did it last Thursday and
batteries replaced
