 Carbon Monoxide Checks

Carbon monoxide, also known as the silent killer, is an odorless and colorless gas produced by stoves, lanterns, burning charcoal and wood, as well as gas ranges and heating systems.  Many people mistake the symptoms of CO poisoning for coming down with the flu. 

The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include:

  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Dizziness
  • Vomiting
  • Confusion

If you or others in your household are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned, follow these directions:

  • Call 9-1-1 immediately.
  • Go to a hospital immediately.

Do NOT re-enter the home until emergency services has indicated that it is safe to return.  Verde Valley Fire District has equipment to test the air for carbon monoxide in your home.  If you would like us to test your air, please call (928) 634-2578 and we'd be happy to assist you.
