Saved 4 Lives

If you don't think you need one of these you just might. This little device saved our life last night. At about 4am this morning our carbon monoxide detector started beeping so we jumped out of bed scared out of our wits. Not wanting to call 911 since it would be the second time this year we had no choice. My first thought was that our neighbors were going to love being woken up at 4am so we kindly asked the dispatcher to ask the firemen to turn off their sirens. They listened, but the flashing lights outside our house for over an hour didn't help too much. When they entered the house we asked if we needed to wake up the kids and after about 5 seconds using their carbon monoxide detector they looked at us with panic on their faces and said get them out of the house. The reading was abnormally high. We were very thankful that they were so thorough, they vented the whole house, turned off the furnace and checked from top to bottom. When they were able to get a low reading they let us back in and left. We are so very thankful that we have the device pictured above and we are getting a second for the first floor of the house. We also have a furnace repair man coming tomorrow afternoon to get to the route of the problem. What a way to start the day, but we are so happy to be alive.
