It’s the time of year when many people should be thinking about checking or replacing their carbon monoxide detectors.
“I just stopped in to pick up a carbon monoxide detector. My batteries just went off on my carbon monoxide detector and it told me that it was at the end of its life,” said Naomi Wawers, a customer at a local hardware store.
Naomi says she always makes sure to keep her detectors running properly.
“We have several gas appliances,” she said “I’m always aware that if there is something that happens with any of those we may not understand or realize something happens until it’s too late.”
It’s far too common many homes do not have working detectors.
“It’s always important to have them up and running, and working,” said Bruce Anderson, the battalion chief for the Fargo Fire Department.
