With the heating season approaching, you, your family <br />or friends may find your CO detectors sounding and not be sure how to <br />react. Ramsey Fire Chief Dean Kapler offers the following information. <br />Carbon Monoxide is a by-product of combustion. It's invisible, <br />ordorless and tasteless. Having the same consistency as normal air, it <br />dissipates throughout the entire area of any space it enters. Unlike normal <br />air, however, it is a poisonous gas that can be deadly at certain levels. <br />Any appliance that bums fuel produces some CO. Natural gas <br />cook stoves, hot water heaters and space heaters produce CO. So do <br />automobiles and even cigarettes. When appliances are in good working <br />order and automobile exhaust is well ventilated, the amount of CO <br />entering your home should be minimal. <br />Should your CO detector sound, remember this, the detector has <br />noticed a level of CO higher than it considers normal. In most cases, the <br />level at which detectors first sound is that considered to be within a safe <br />limit. Even so, ifnecessary, move everyone into fresh air, check to see if <br />anyone has headaches, nausea, dizziness or feels faint. Should anyone <br />show symptoms or if at any time you are unsure of what to do, Call <br />911. Emergency peisonnel will respond to your home. <br />Fortunately, the incidents the Ramsey Fire Department has <br />responded to involving CO detectors sounding have all been within safe <br />to moderate levels of CO. But please remember to: <br /> <br />* keep appliances in good working order and call you local gas company <br />if you have any questions about appliances; <br />* when warming up automobiles, either have them outside or have <br />adequate ventilation; <br />* make sure fireplaces are cleaned regularly and vented properly. <br /> <br />If you are looking for a CO detector, there are many models <br />available with various features. For example, digital models show the <br />level of CO parts per million the detector is reading, which can help you <br />decide what action is needed. <br /> <br />/ <br />Ramsey Resident <br />Ramsey Municipal Center <br />15153 Nowthen Boulevard N.W. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />1'\ <br /> <br />ECRWSS <br />BULK RATE <br />U.S. POSTAGE <br />PAID <br />PERMIT NO. 131 <br />ANOKA.
