Carbon monoxide detectors

Get them in your house and make sure they are working. Ours went off today. I changed the batteries and it went off again. Opened up a few windows while my husband loaded the kids in the car. Called the non emergency fire number while sitting in the driveway. They came out within minutes to test my house. Everything tested fine and it ended up being a faulty detector. We bought this house earlier this year and never checked the dates on our fire and carbon monoxide detector, which was incredibly stupid on my part. It was 17 years old... facking 17 years old!! I had a good friend, her mother and brother pass away from a fire in 2008. I have no excuse to be this irresponsible. Just came back from the store with 6 new fire alarms and 2 new carbon monoxide detectors. Learn from my mistakes, prevent a tragedy before it can happen. ?

When i still lived at home the carbon monoxide detectors went off so i called the fire department. I told them the levels were reading 50. They came but didn't believe me. Sure enough they tested and found out it was from the wood stove. Saved our lives.

Check fire extinguisher dates and levels too, ours was wicked old and empty ?! There are programs (at least in ma) that will give you new detectors, energy efficient power strips and bulbs etc too if they come check out your house! Be safe everyone

I agree ek!! I have two bedrooms upstairs which will be my kids in the future. I don't feel comfortable putting them on a different floor with them being so young. My son wouldn't know what to do incase of a fire at this age. I had a family member side eye me because they are sharing a bedroom on your main floor until around age 5. It's right next to my husband and I's room, I feel safer that way.

We also have to have one in our home by law. I bought a new smoke detector and CO2 detector when we moved in. Everyone should also remember to change the batteries every 6 months. The fire department recommends changing batteries when we change clocks for daylight savings time. It’s an easy way to remember!

ETA: Glad it was just a faulty detector and not a serious emergency. A family of 6 died from CO2 poisoning in our town this fall. So heartbreaking & completely preventable.

ETA2: And the detectors DO expire so everyone should check their dates. The fire department comes in and talks to kids every year during fire prevention week in the fall. They scare the living daylights out of me every time. Ever seen how flammable furniture is and how fast a couch can become engulfed in flames? Scary af. Your family should also have a planned meeting point if you need to evacuate and you should practice evacuating with your kids as soon as they’re old enough!

Its illegal NOT to have one here?

They're also very important to have if you have a furnace in your home. A cracked heat exchanger will quickly dump carbon monoxide into your home. Older furnaces (15+ years) are more prone to having a heat exchanger crack.

Sex at 13 is unacceptable. That's why it's so important to talk to your kids and teach
This girl doesn't take care of herself (even used underwear shouldn't smell like pee), is having sex
