In the winter, Canadians cannot leave the heating equipment, and most families will use gas heating equipment. However, the use of gas is likely to cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Recently, a couple from Orleans failed to clean the pet hair blocking the vent of the gas boiler in time, leading to a tragedy.
The case occurred on the morning of November 19. The neighbors of the couple found that they did not come out as usual and reported to the police. After the police arrived, they found that the 75 year old man in the house had died, and the 75 year old woman was also poisoned, so they rushed to the hospital for rescue.
Then the firefighters detected the scene and found that the concentration of carbon monoxide in the house was 6 times higher than the normal air content, and that in the basement was as high as 7 times! In the subsequent inspection, they found that the gas boiler used by the couple did not leak gas, but the exhaust port of their gas boiler was blocked by animal hair. Firefighters found that the combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm of the gas boiler had its battery removed. The reason was that the two old people did not know the importance of the combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm. They only knew that the combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm was always buzzing and noisy, and they did not care. In order to clean up, they even removed the battery of the detector. If they do not remove the battery of combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm, the two old people will not face the result of separation in life and death.
In order to prevent similar tragedies, the police also reminded everyone once again that “everyone must not be lazy every year, and must clean the gas boiler in time, and replace the combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm with new batteries
