carbon monoxide detector just went off image
Lovely
What would you do if you lived in a apartment building and noticed that somebody's Carbon Monoxide Detector was going off all day? Would you be concerned or try to do something about it.I was just wondering because it concerns me a little bit. Am just being too paranoid? Please Be Completely Honest! Thanks
Answer
If it were one of my neighbors, I'd break into their house, after I called 911 and got them on the way. Of course I know my neighbors, and they know me. So they would know I was breaking in to help them, or their pets.
It's possible you might have a neighbor in serious distress. You should at least call 911.

Carbon monoxide detector went off?

Its 2:30 in the morning and my carbon monoxide detector went off about 20 min ago. It was realllllllly quiet and only barely woke me up, not like the loud obnoxious noise it makes when I've tested it in the past. It sounded like an alarm clock, not really a chirping sort of noise. It only went off for about minute and then stopped and hasn't gone off since. Should I be concerned? My parents just shrugged it off and went back to sleep but I'm not so sure they should have done that...CO2 is nothing to mess around with.

I've had mine go off before and worried about it, too. If it goes off but eventually turns off, you are fine. Trust me, if that thing detects ANY CO2, it will blare the holy living hell out of itself until the CO2 is gone. Also, if there were CO2 in the air, you would be throwing up, or passing out, or at the least, very very sick. If you've been in the house for twenty minutes since it went off and you are not dead, I'm sure there is nothing in the house. However, you might want to urge your parents to have it checked out tomorrow when you all wake up. If they don't, I'm 99% certain that you'll be fine. It might just be good to check and make sure.
