Carbon Monoxide Detector Saves Day At Havre de Grace Duplex

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — A carbon monoxide detector helped protect the residents living in a Havre de Grace duplex on Christmas Day, according to officials.

The Susquehanna Hose Company found high levels of carbon monoxide in the home in the 100 block of Bloomsbury Avenue around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, authorities reported. A carbon monoxide detector had gone off, prompting first responders to arrive.

A leak was found coming from the stove, according to the hose company, which reported first responders ventilated the building afterward.

"Thankfully the occupants had a carbon monoxide detector, which also alerted the neighbors, as this was a duplex," the Susquehanna Hose Company reported.

Everyone declined medical treatment, officials said.
