CASE #1 <br /> <br />CARBON MONOXIDE INCIDENTS <br /> By: Dean Ka, pler, Fire Chief <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />As everyone is aware, Carbon Monoxide Incidents (CO) are of great concern to the public. The <br />Ramsey Fire DeP~artment is currently responding to these incidems with one vehicle (Engine #2) <br />and a crew of three. <br /> <br />On arrival, the c~ew first checks the physical condition of the occupants and treats accordingly. <br />(Note: In severer carbon monoxide exposure, the affected persons must be brought to a unit <br />similar to a diving chamber for treatment). Next, the entire structure is inspected for carbon <br />monoxide with She gas detector, with all ppm readings being noted on the Ramsey Fire <br />Department two,art form. If the reading is unusually high, 100 ppm or greater, and constant, <br />the home owner/~s instructed to call Minnegasco. <br /> <br />Ramsey Fire DePartment leaves a packet (enclosed) with the home owner on departure. <br /> <br />Board Action: <br /> <br />Discussion on the level of current response and possible changes for future responses. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Fire Chief <br /> <br />FB :02/14/96 <br />/ccr <br /> <br /> <br />
