Sometimes combustion gets out of hand; uncontrollable.
The forest has fuel, The air has plenty of oxygen. A lightning strike has enough heat and, combustion begins and is maintained until the process can be suppressed. This uncontrollable combustion requires emergency tactics to protect life and property; cool it, take away the oxygen and prevent more fuel from being consumed.
The protection of the emergency fire fighter is of vital importance not only to keep them from being burned but to protect them from inhaling poison gases. Self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and personal monitors can keep them safer and informed.
Baseline COHb% testing of all personnel is critical in determining if supplemental oxygen therapy or pressurized oxygen therapy is required to unload carbon monoxide from the hemoglobin after an incident.
Since CO does not readily remove from hemoglobin and increased levels in the human body builds oxidative stress, this procedure will help protect the health and well being of these cultural heroes.
Building fires of all sizes pose immediate threats to the inhabitants of those buildings. Carbon monoxide poisoning or poisoning from burning plastics, vinyl and other cyanide related gases can be fatal long before the body burns. And let’s not forget all support personnel in the vicinity of idling vehicles and generators. They too are exposed to exhaust gasses from those systems as well and should be protected.

The lowest U.L. 2034 & CSA 6.19 carbon monoxide alarm test point is:
- 70 PPM to 149 PPM – resist one hour, must alarm before 4 hours
Please read the alarm information on the package and in the instructions. Know when your fire department and emergency responders begin wearing their breathing apparatus and what their civilian evacuation levels are for carbon monoxide; it may be before 70 PPM. It is for pregnant women, infants & children, the elderly and all people of vulnerable health. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
