Does anyone feel sick and experiencing the “flu-like” symptoms of dizziness, nausea, or headaches?
Yes: If the answer to the above question is yes, immediately evacuate the household to a safe location and call the Fire Department at 911. The best initial treatment for CO exposure is fresh air followed by treatment from a physician. No: If the answer to the above question is no, the likelihood of a serious exposure is greatly reduced and calling 911 is not necessary at this time. Instead, turn off any gas appliances or equipment and open doors and windows to help ventilate your home with fresh air from outside. After completing this, occupants are urged to contact your local gas utility company (e.g., MG&E at 252-1111) or a qualified heating and ventilating service contractor to inspect your system for possible problems. Note: If at any time during this process someone in your household experiences “flu-like” symptoms, immediately evacuate the home and call 911.
