Firefighters warn of carbon monoxide dangers
Shore News Today
WILDWOOD- In the month since the fire department installed five new carbon monoxide detectors on EMS medical bags, the department has had two incidents of CO poisoning send people to the hospital. In both cases, an ambulance was requested because the person was feeling ill, the department said. When emergency medical services arrived and entered the buildings with the detectors, the CO alarms on their bags sounded, which indicates that there were high levels of carbon monoxide.

Note this distraction from carbon monoxide poisoning:
Bald Eagle Camera Alcoa Bald Eagle Camera, Davenport,
Iowa.
A friend of mine notified me that the pair of bald
eagles has returned to their nest along the Mississippi River in Davenport,
Iowa. The Alcoa Company has their web cam up and running and viewing of the
nest is possible during daylight hours, Central Standard Time, US. Two eggs in
the nest. UPDATE: Hatching has begun. Fresh caught
fish, rodents and other game animals will be brought to the nest. The Alcoa
Eagle website gives a good history of the pair and the company’s involvement
with them. If you haven’t viewed this site through the hatching and growth of
the eaglets, I think you may find it to be quite a live sight to see when you
may have those periodic spare moments. This link will be posted on this site for
those people who may wish to capture the link and watch the cycle of life of
this nesting pair.
What does this have to
do with carbon monoxide safety?
It is just a live web cam,
perhaps a distraction from the headlines of death and injury. Please become
aware of the air you breathe. Measurement is education. Measure your air
accurately when measuring carbon monoxide. Bob
