carbon monoxide poisoning





A

BABYSITTER has been taken to hospital with possible carbon monoxide

poisoning.



The

19-year-old woman was looking after three children at a house in

Aldcliffe Crescent, Balby, when she fell ill.



When her father

went round to the property with a carbon monoxide detector, the alarm

was set off and they called the fire service.



The woman and the

young children, who were not thought to have been showing any symptoms,

were taken to hospital as a precaution, a fire service spokesman said.



When

the firefighters used their own carbon monoxide detector, the alarm

was not activated. Crews were unable to confirm that carbon monoxide was

present.

I find it interesting...

that none of these updates are coming from Germany. Lots from the UK and elsewhere, but nary a one from Germany.



Maybe having the law behind you for doing chimney/efficiency checks does save lives...

Absolutely.

Great observation, Mark. Thanks.
