At about 8 p.m. Jan. 20,\u00a0 Kent firefighters<\/a> responded to the second carbon monoxide poisoning of the night on Kent\u2019s Easthill. The two incidents were at separate apartment complexes and are not related.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Emergency units arrived at the second apartment complex located in the 11200 block of S.E. 258 Place and found a family of five complaining of dizziness, headache and nausea. The family told firefighters that they had been heating the house with a charcoal barbecue while the power had been out when they all started feeling ill. Firefighters treated the two adults and three teenagers at the scene then transported them to a local hospital for further evaluation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Residents are reminded that they should never bring BBQs or generators into or near their home. Carbon monoxide (CO), a byproduct of these devices, can pose a danger to everyone in the home. CO is a clear and odorless gas that blocks the body\u2019s ability to absorb oxygen. Symptoms include:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Headache<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Nausea<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Dizziness<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Fatigue<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

If you or anyone in your home experiences these symptoms and CO poisoning is suspected, call 911 immediately<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

and leave your residence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
