There was a problem with the boiler as pilot light wouldn't stay lit and a gas leak from under the cooker we were unaware of but it explains everyone feeling sick in the evenings for the last few days.
You are very lucky you didnt die
I think they said it went off
Missed that bit
.
Yes the alarm sounded. That's how we knew there was a problem.
I phoned the emergency line for British gas and they told me how to turn the gas off from outside and had to open all doors and windows and wait outside for them. We got kids and piggies out very quickly before even making the call.I have a carbon monoxide alarm right by my boiler in my kitchen. In the first place any carbon minoxide will try and escape. I always shut the kitchen door fully when I'm not home or asleep. And my bedroom door. And the pigs living room door. If i heard it go off il go outside and brick my kitchen window in
Cars are a place where you can get it too, from exhaust fumes from a leaky exhaust manifold
I dont know where mine is
It may be worth finding out. Hopefully you will never need to do it. I never thought it would happen to is and it has.I dont know where mine is
And BBQs. A friend of mine brought her cooling bbq inside for reasons I don’t understand but that set it off! And people have come unstuck in caravans after moving bbqs underneath to keep them safe from kids and pets after use but the fumes have got in through the vents in the wagon. I’ve heard of people taking them into tents for the same reason too.
