From an e-mail:
Quote: | Dear Yeshiva World News,
I am an EMT on the Teaneck Ambulance Corps. On Motzei Yom Tov we responded to a
frum family whose carbon monoxide detector had gone off. Upon our arrival the
Fire Department had begun ventilating the home and all 5 family members were
feeling OK. The CO level in the home was extremely high. If they had not had a
CO detector and had continued to sleep through the night, it would have been,
chas vishalom, a terrible tragedy.
The Deputy Fire Chief on the scene stated that the cause of the CO was from the
family leaving their oven on all Yom Tov and the fact that some of the vents
from the oven were partially obstructed by tinfoil.
[bolding and underline done by me]
Bichasdei Hashem this tragedy was averted. I hope that people can learn two
lessons from this close call:
1. Please check your ovens to make sure that they are vented properly.
2. Make sure that you have CO monitors in your house and that they are working
properly. CO has no odor and will kill within a few hours. Your family's only
defense is a properly located and functioning CO detector. |
