Yesterday for our weekly drill, the Marcellus Fire Department had 17 members train in water supply operations, practicing both drafting and hydrants.

To draft, members used the dry hydrant at the corner of Marble Road and Smith Hollow Road and the bridge over Nine-Mile creek on Schuyler Road. Our members also practiced making hydrants in the Village.

Our fire district and neighboring districts encompass hydranted and non-hydranted areas, so our members must be proficient in both.

Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Detector Safety

What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, odorless gas that is produced by incomplete combustion of gas burning appliances. This includes stoves, furnaces, boilers, fireplaces, gas dryers, vehicles, tractors and smaller gas powered tools. CO can also be produced by wood burning fireplaces, if not properly vented or if there’s an issue with the chimney. Without having detectors, CO can go unnoticed until individuals begin experiencing health problems. This can include nausea, fatigue, dizziness, loss of motor skills, and in serious cases, can lead to death.

What to do if your smoke or CO detector alerts:
Call 911 and evacuate the house immediately, even if you believe it’s a false alarm. Never go back inside the house until it is deemed safe by first responders.

Installation & Testing:
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends installing smoke and CO detectors in all sleeping areas, directly outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including basements. Smoke and CO detectors should be tested monthly and batteries changed regularly.

Replacement:
Smoke and CO detectors typically have a lifespan of 7-10 years before replacement. However, if you experience issues with your detector, replace it sooner.

Early detection of smoke and CO can allow residents to evacuate to safety and save lives.

At 05:32, Marcellus Fire was dispatched to a Carbon Monoxide alarm activation on Amber Road, near Brewer Road. Marcellus Engine 1 responded along with Marcellus Ambulance, due to the homeowner feeling ill.

E-1’s crew entered the structure and was met with CO readings of 30-40 PPM in the residence and began investigating the source. After determining the source in the garage, where readings went as high as 75 PPM, the entire residence was ventilated while E-1’s crew continued to monitor air quality with meters. Marcellus Ambulance treated the homeowner.

Carbon Monoxide is a poisonous, colorless, odorless gas that is produced by incomplete combustion of gas burning appliances. If a smoke or CO alarm alerts in your house, be sure to call 911. Do not assume it’s a false alarm without seeking professional assistance.
