I have been informed that if in doubt a Fire brigade officer will call..... it is part of their remit........ putting it bluntly they would prefer to assist the able body rather than a dead one................

Turn off any gas appliances, open doors and windows. Stop using the appliances and get them checked by a British Gas engineer or another CORGI registered engineer. Alternatively, call Transco Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999.


If necessary also contact your doctor, and explain what you suspect.

Or the fire brigade..... I will google now about coal fires.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS DO NOT GO OFF FOR NO REASON

sorry to shout, but this is urgent!

Please don't ignore it call out the fire service or if you have gas ring the gas emergency number..PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T IGNORE YOUR ALARM

This may be a silly question, and I agree when other's say you should get it checked out immediately, but if it was me I wouldn't know who to call. So who do you call when the carbon monoxide detector goes off? Do you call the gasboard or someone else?

Oh, and it's entirely possible that your cold could be symptoms.

Dawnie... it doesn't matter what is *doing it* with carbon monoxide... it kills, silently and stealthily no matter what the source. You may have been having symptoms for a while without even realising it.

YOU MUST GET YOUR HEATING, FLUE etc checked out. NOW,


Please.

Love

Put extra clothes on and leave the doors and windows open. If you have a neighbour the children can go to send them and call somebody out to check it. Don't take risks.

And please let us know what happens.

Dawnie...... for goodness sake call in the experts or even the fire bridgade...LIKE NOW.......you have nothing to lose but everything to gain....like your lives.....

JoyceP.....

DO IT NOW....................

Yikes first time that has happened and me and hubby are both got colds so cant smell anything anyway not that you would, I have headache but thats nothing new, doors and windows opened so now Im cold.

Am going down focus to get new detector just to make sure as that one is a few years old, probably the coal fire doing it but aint taking any chances.
