Two days later there was another CO incident and Fire/EMS presence at the same apartment complex.
An activated Carbon Monoxide detector alerted residents on Columbia Rd NW of the danger. DO YOU have a working CO detector in your home to protect you from this silent, odorless killer. If not, please get one, and also be aware of the sources & symptoms of CO poisoning. pic.twitter.com/syLxHdcftA

Luckily these were detected by one of the residents, and it doesn’t look like anyone was hurt. A great reminder to get a CO detector!”
